Roca London Gallery100 Women Architects: The Exhibition
Leading industry voices, writers and academics Dr. Harriet Harriss, Naomi House, Monika Parrinder and Tom Ravenscroft, have garnered international plaudits for their eye-opening book 100 Women: Architects in Practice. Showcasing the largely overlooked stories of women currently making their mark in the architectural world, there have been launch events and press coverage for the book from Dubai to New York, Uzbekistan to South Africa.
Now, for the first time, they will make their findings tangible and accessible to the public through 100 Women Architects: The Exhibition. Geographically balanced to feature architects from 79 countries across six continents, the exhibition will amplify their voices, and projects will be illustrated by photos and rendered as simplified 3D paper models, constructed by students from London’s RCA Architecture programme, under the guidance of Interior Design MA tutor Steve Jensen.
Through highlighted works, the exhibition aims to celebrate women’s underrepresented contributions to architecture, offering a platform for leading but often unheard voices. [name of exhibition] addresses sustainability, practice innovation, and equity, with thought-provoking perspectives on gender in the field.
“Our aspiration is gender equity across all professions and disciplines, said the curatorial team in a statement. “We wrote the book to play some part in increasing the visibility of architectural practitioners who all have the knowledge and talent to be a household name.”
100 Women Architects runs from 18 October 2024 through to 28 March 2025.
