Summary:
For a century and a half, women have been proving their passion and talent for building and, in recent decades, their enrollment in architecture schools has soared. Yet the number of women working as architects remains stubbornly low, and the higher one looks in the profession, the scarcer women become. Law and medicine, two equally demanding and traditionally male professions, have been much more successful in retaining and integrating women. So why do women still struggle to keep a toehold in architecture? This book tells the story of women's stagnating numbers in a profession that remains a male citadel, and explores how a new generation of activists is fighting back, grabbing headlines, and building coalitions that promise to bring about change.

With reports from Amsterdam, Antwerp, Hong Kong, Montreal, and Taipei, this book makes clear that every red light district is the specific outcome of the morphology of the city, the legal status of sex work, cultural understandings, city planning, and market forces. It also shows that sex work has a deep impact on the city's urban form, its buildings, rooms, streets, squares, and alleys, even in places where sex work is officially illegal.

Summary:
Providing hard data for trends that many perceive only vaguely and some deny altogether, Designing for Diversity reveals a profession rife with gender and racial discrimination and examines the aspects of architectural practice that hinder or support the full participation of women and persons of color. Given the traditional mismatch between diverse consumers and predominantly white male producers of the built environment, plus the shifting population balance toward communities of color, Anthony contends that improving the climate for nontraditional architects will do much to strengthen architecture as a profession. Practicing architects, managers of firms, students, and educators will learn how to create conditions more welcoming to a diversity of users as well as to designers.

Summary:
When learning about internet history, we are taught to focus on engineering, the military-industrial complex and the grandfathers who created the architecture and protocol, but the internet is not only a network of cables, servers and computers. It is an environment that shapes and is shaped by its inhabitants and their use.The creation and use of this Index is a social and political act. It takes the name cyberfeminism as an umbrella, complicates it and pushes it into plain sight. Edited by designer, professor and researcher Mindy Seu (who began the project during a fellowship at the Harvard Law School’s Berkman Klein Center for the Internet & Society, later presenting it at the New Museum), it includes more than 1,000 short entries of radical techno-critical activism in a variety of media, including excerpts from academic articles and scholarly texts; descriptions of hackerspaces, digital rights activist groups, bio-hacktivism; and depictions of feminist net art and new media art.

Summary:
Les revendications féministes actuelles dans le domaine de l’architecture s’enracinent dans des décennies de réflexion critique, de militantisme politique, théorique et professionnel. Documentant l’engagement de plusieurs générations de penseurs-euses féministes, cette anthologie fait entendre quelques-unes des voix pionnières qui se sont élevées pour interroger le champ de l’architecture dans toutes ses dimensions, ses mécanismes sociaux, ses modes de production intellectuelle et professionnelle. Publiés entre 1977 et 1999, les douze textes fondateurs sélectionnés et présentés par la chercheuse Stéphanie Dadour éclairent un moment oublié de l’histoire de l’architecture nord-américaine. À une période où des notions fondamentales comme genre, intersectionnalité et queer sont forgées et progressivement introduites en architecture, les discours croisés de ces praticien-nes, théoricien-nes, historien-nes ou commissaires d’expositions dessinent un mouvement collectif qui n’existait pas auparavant et qui marquera indéfectiblement la littérature architecturale ultérieure.

Created in conjunction with ''The architect's table'', a series of events held at the Museo Novecento in Florence in 2021, the architects featured here address the personal challenges they have encountered in the course of their careers in a field where men are still the predominant players, and offer their observations on women in architecture in the 21st century.

Summary:
According to a recent American study, sexism and racism are so widespread in architecture that there is a distaste for these topics within the branch itself. What are the reasons for this exclusionary working culture? Even in Germany, most architecture graduates since the turn of the millennium have been female—but a large number of conventions and assumptions within the discipline make it difficult for women to remain in the profession. As a result, a great deal of highly trained talent is lost. This book uses an intersectional feminist perspective to examine the structural causes that push women—and anyone else who isn’t a white cis man—out of the field. How can architectural teaching and discourse, as well as the industry’s self-image, become more diverse? Where are the experiences of a pluralistic society missing from the built environment? How can we bring about cultural change in planning and architecture?
