A$ a student in architecture at McGill in the 1940s, I knew that women had not been admitted to the program until 1939. I attributed this resistance to admitting women to architecture to the social climate of Quebec, where my mother could not sign a contract, and where women had been disenfranchised until 1940. These, of course, were much more fundamental issues. Women of previous generations had distinguished themselves as ar­ chitects in England and the United States: Sophia Hayden had graduated from the Mas­ sachussets Institute of Technology in 1890; Ethel Charles had been admitted to the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1898, albeit with difficulty; and Julia Morgan had established a prestigious practice in California in 1920.

  • Introduction: Architecture Is Not a Horse
    Introduction: Architecture Is Not a Horse This book was motivated not so much by what I knew about the architecture of Louis Isadore Kahn, but rather by the many questions it raised. Veiled in an intriguing obscurity, the American architect’s œuvre seemed replete with paradoxes both in its theory and practice, while its spatial richness was difficult to grasp. Moreover, Kahn’s strange life story demanded answers: how was it possible that one Leiser-Itze Schmuilowksy – a Jew born in Estonia in 1901, who immigrated to the United States at five years of age and was raised, at least from a material perspective, in poverty, but who showed an early artistic talent and fascination for architecture – could realize his first mature project at the unusually late age of 50, and then, within the next two decades, as the result of an exceedingly productive period, flourish into a living paragon and one of the first globally active architects of the 20th century? From an educational perspective, how did he, considered by some the last “heroic architect” and “master,” as a teacher inspire a whole generation of laudable architects? What did one of these successors, Charles Moore, mean when he remarked that Kahn in a “kind of rabbinical sense […] was the grand bearer of a sacred architectural message […]”?1 In terms of his buildings, what were the principles he employed to make his architecture endure as a Stoic point of order within the apparently unstoppable flux of daily life? What were his reasons for poetically employing wind, light, water and earth to manifest an elemental architectural reality that increasingly seems lost in the virtual realms of digital technology? How could he be original in both the sense of going back to historical sources and of transcending these to invent something new? More questions like these could be added, and the few answers I present here only make evident that Kahn purposefully resisted the temptation to make everything explainable.

    'Archi-ettes' in Training: The Admission of Women to McGill's School ofArchitecture ' uring the first week of June this year, the School of Architecture at McGill D University was visited by its first woman graduate, Catherine Mary Chard Wisnicki (figure 1). She was invited back to Montreal by her alma mater as part of the school's centennial celebrations-except for a period in the 1950s, Chard Wisnicki has lived in Vancouver since the late 1940s-to receive an honourary Doctorate of Science.2 A pioneer of British Columbia Modernism and one of the country's first women architecture pro­ fessors, Chard Wisnicki's contributions to the profession in Canada have long been neglected. Her momentous graduation from McGill in 1943 was the culmination of the debate over the admission of women as architecture students at the university 3 The Debate The controversy had inspired a flurry of internal correspondence as early as 1918, when Juliana Dallaire of Moose Creek, Ontario, sent the following request to the university: Kindly send me the calendar of the University and please tell me if it is possible to study landscape gardening, perspective, inside decoration and work in white and ink in the University. Also [if] it is necessary to pass examinations. Yours truly Juliana Dallaire4 An optimistic university registrar, J.A. Nicholson, replied to Dallaire's request. outlining the necessary qualifications for admission and adding, So far women have not been admitted to the course in Architecture, but it is just possible under the changed conditions consequent upon the war that an exception might now be made.5 Five years before Dallaire's letter, a request from the Montreal Women's Club had demanded the admission of women students to a number of faculties at Figure 1.

As a modern landscape architect, I am inspired by these goals and by the landowners, corporate groups and architects whose needs I serve. When I see how Nature welcomes the gardens and landscapes I have begun, and how they enhance people’s lives, I rejoice in following a distinguished tradition of artists who unite human and natural forces in harmony. In January of 2004, Pattison presented at the symposium, Engaging Louis I. Kahn: A Legacy for the Future, held at the Yale Center for British Art. What follows is a description of some of her collaborations with Kahn and some of her personal memories of him.

Lord (born Crawford, 1918-1994) and Elizabeth M. Pilcher (later Causwell, 1920-1991?), two women architects who worked in Winnipeg, Manitoba during the post-war period. Lord received her Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Manitoba in 1939 and, in 1944, became the first woman to register with the Manitoba Association of Architects. For the majority of her career, Lord ran her own architectural practice in Winnipeg, taking on small-scale, often domestic, projects. Pilcher received her Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Sydney in 1945.

  • My Memory of the Moment When I Knew That My Decision to Become an Architect Was the Right One Still Elicits a Visceral Response
    Moriyama RAIC International Prize Scholarship Application Tanya Southcott Essay My memory of the moment when I knew that my decision to become an architect was the right one still elicits a visceral response. I am sitting at the back of a darkened classroom full of restless, first year would-be-architects anxious to learn about our next studio assignment. The project brief is to design a staircase; not just any staircase, but a new unit for an apartment in the Unité d’Habitation (1946-1952), “the first manifestation of an environment suited to modern life,”1 according to the project’s architect Le Corbusier in 1952. Not only are students asked to intervene in a landmark building by a modern master, but they are challenged to work ‘in the manner’ of another architect, to explore another’s architectural voice. In a curious twist to what might seem a traditional exercise, the brief asks male students to choose their inspiration from a list of women architects, and female students to choose from an albeit much longer list of men. Sitting on hard wooden lecture chairs in late fall with our minds in sunny Marseilles, we are on a visual tour as our introduction to this canonic brutalist masterpiece. The slide shifts, and suddenly we stand on the rooftop, in the shadow of an enormous undulating ventilator shaft. In this moment, my heart grew with the kind of pride available perhaps only to an architecture student at McGill, and a woman at that. Not weeks before, I encountered this same image as research for an entry on the Canadian architect Blanche Lemco van Ginkel for an online encyclopedia on North American women architects.2 In the world of Canadian architecture, van Ginkel is a national treasure.
