100 Women

This illustrated book highlights the contributions of 100 women architects worldwide, showcasing their insights and leadership in addressing the disconnect between architecture, society, and the environment.

100 Women is a visually rich book that highlights the significant yet often overlooked contributions of women in the field of architecture. Through 100 carefully curated profiles, the book serves as a vital reference, aiming to inspire readers by showcasing the work of exceptional female architects from around the globe. While many of these women have made remarkable impacts in their field, they remain largely unknown to the public, underscoring the ongoing challenge of gender representation within the profession.

Over the past decade, there has been a growing recognition of the need for gender balance in architecture. Despite this progress, women continue to face underrepresentation, limited promotional opportunities, and wage disparities. The book addresses this issue by celebrating the achievements of women who have shaped the built environment, emphasizing that acknowledging their contributions is crucial for a more equitable future in architecture. It presents a diverse array of voices and experiences, reinforcing the idea that both heroines and heroes are essential in the narrative of architectural history.

The book features illustrated interviews with prominent architects such as Tatiana Bilbao, Liz Diller, and Frida Escobedo, among others. Each interview delves into how these women are bridging the gap between architecture and the communities they serve, offering innovative visions and leadership models. With over 300 photographs and drawings, 100 Women not only highlights individual achievements but also serves as a collective call to action for the profession to embrace a more inclusive and balanced approach to architecture.
