Women are entering architecture and design fields in increasing numbers. As a matter of fact, in architecture schools in many regions of the world, women make up well over 50% of the student body. Despite this, there still exist barriers to women and substantial numbers abandon the profession. What are some of the contributions women have made to the field? What do the figures tell us? How is the profession changing? What does the future hold? How can women make an impact and be recognized?
Martha Thorne, Dean of IE School of Architecture and Design, has served as the Executive Director of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, popularly known as the “Nobel Prize for Architecture” since 2005. Her interests have always focused on international contemporary architecture, cities in evolution and changes in the role of the architect. Prior to joining IE, she was Associate Curator of the Department of Architecture at The Art Institute of Chicago. She is the co-author of the books Masterpieces of Chicago Architecture and Skyscrapers: The New Millennium, editor and author for The Pritzker Architecture Prize: The First Twenty Years, and author of numerous articles for architectural journals and encyclopedias.
