WOMEN IN ARCHITECTURE
With Women in Architecture we have begun to tackle the massive erasure and exclusion of women in discourse around architecture in both education and practice. Institutional erasure is especially prevalent to both queer and women of color.

By researching and documenting these women, we are in the pursuit of responding to and resisting the systematic oppression that caused this exclusion in the first place.
