NCARB Live: Women in Architecture Date: September 25, 2014 at 3 P.M NCARB Live: Women In Architecture Date: September 25, 2014 at 3 p.m. EDT Topic: Women In Architecture Moderator: Architect Magazine Executive Editor Katie Gerfen Panelists: NCARB Second Vice President Margo Jones, NCARB, AIA, LEED AP AIA Young Architects Forum Co-Chair Anna Barbour, AIA, LEED AP BD+C 2013 AIA DC Emerging Architect recipient Diane Leeson, Assoc. AIA, LEED AP BD+C Katie: Hi, my name is Katie Gerfen. I’m the Executive Editor of Architect Magazine, and I’m here at NCARB’s Washington, DC, office today to talk about a very important topic: women in architecture. I’m joined by Anna Barbour, Margo Jones, and Diane Leeson, and we’re going to have a great conversation about the state of the industry today. So ladies, I always like to start at the beginning. So do you want to tell me a little bit about what you do now and what made you decide to pursue architecture in the first place? Anna: Oh, sure. I always knew I wanted to be an architect since the fourth grade. I visited a development that was still under construction, called Seaside in Florida, [which] is now a new urban development. I was there on the street and I just kind of realized this was a special place that somebody made. And I realized that this is what I wanted to do. I pursued drafting in high school. I was one of the only women there. I went through college and I got my master’s degree from Virginia Tech and always worked in firms and interned. Now I’m an architect at Shalom Baranes Associates in Washington, DC. We do multi-family, commercial, and some government work. Katie: Great. Margo: So, Anna, you beat me by five years. I knew in ninth grade that I wanted to be an architect, and I grew up in a suburban Boston community that had a lot of architects, including women architects. So I had role models at a young age. But I also got an undergrad degree in liberal arts, and then went to graduate school in Boston. Worked for six years after getting my M.Arch. and started my own practice. That was 30 years ago. And now I have a 10-person firm that I share with a partner. And we do mostly schools, and it’s in Western Massachusetts, which is a rural area. Katie: Great. You’re involved with NCARB as well, aren’t you, Margo? Margo: Oh, yeah. That’s right. Katie: A little bit? Margo: I’ve been involved with NCARB since 2007 when I volunteered to be on the Internship Committee. And that was very interesting to me. I kept up the activity and now I’m second vice president of the Board. Katie: Fantastic. 1 Diane: I feel like I have a similar story. I felt like at a young age, I was interested in architecture because my family and I moved to a new development, so ours was one of the first houses on the block built. And all around me there [were] a bunch of stick-built single-family houses, and I was really interested in that. I think in fourth grade, my dad was saying, “You really have a strong interest in what seems to be art and math, and architecture would probably be a good career path for you. And you have an uncle in architecture.” And he kind of led me down that path. So after that, I went to school at Philadelphia University, got my Bachelor of Architecture, and when I graduated, came down to D.C. for my first job. I just feel like [by] being an architect, you can help people, and therefore that’s one of the things that I like about architecture. Currently I’m working on a health care project, so I’m helping design the hospitals for the doctors to help the patients get better. Katie: That’s great. And you’re at Perkins+Will here in D.C., right? Diane: I am, yes. Katie: Fantastic. And you’re also pursuing your license? Diane: I am pursuing my license. I’m still in the early stages, so I feel like I do have a long way to go, but there’s a lot of support out there for me. Katie: That’s great. Well, one of the first things that I think we need to talk about when talking about women in architecture is the idea of a gender gap in the industry. It’s something that’s often discussed. But with three women who are working at different points in the field, I’d love to get your perspective on is there a gender gap? And what do you think that gender gap is? How would you define it as it affects you in architecture? Anna: Well, in the firm that I’m at, there are about a 120 architects or architecture professionals. I would say that we’re about 50-50 as far as men and women. All of the senior roles are men, but there’s a lot of opportunity for development. If you’re interested in project management or design, you show the initiative, you show the passion and the concern, there’s been opportunities for upward movement. And I think that as long as you can support yourself, put yourself out there, and be confident in what you want, there is opportunity out there for you. Margo: Well, I experienced a lot of [this] gender gap as I was getting trained, and throughout work. In architecture school, it just so happened that the year I started, I was the only woman in my class. And that was hard because I picked the graduate school I went to because it had a good record for more women. Later it evened out and was a very diverse class. We all had our own talents. I learned early on that people bring their own strengths. Women certainly add a lot to the profession and have certain creative capabilities that are amazing. There aren’t that many woman-owned firms. I think in Massachusetts there are probably more than in other areas of the country, but I’ve been very fortunate to have my own firm. I think that it is a function of how much you put your nose to the grindstone and really work hard. Convey to other people, like clients, that you’re capable, competent, and you believe in yourself. And so it takes a certain amount of assertiveness and overcoming the odds, but you can make it. A lot of women are joining the ranks. And I’m glad we’re 2 talking about it, because there shouldn’t be such a gap between the amount of graduates and equity partners at large firms. It should be even, so we’ve got to do something to make it better. Katie: Absolutely. Diane: I don’t see a whole lot of female architects above me that I can look to, I guess, as roles models. But at the same time, it [has] been pointed out to me [that] there is a gender gap. And only when I think about it do I kind of notice it. But until then I haven’t really paid too much attention to that, which is kind of interesting. Katie: Yeah, definitely. The kind of things that you pointed out is the gap between the number of women in architecture school and the number of women in leadership roles. And one of the stats that’s often talked about is the 32 percent. Fifty percent of the people in architecture school are female, but only 18 to 21 [percent]—depending on the numbers that you’re looking at—are women architects. So there is that missing 32 percent gap there. What do you think are some of the things that we can do to increase the speed with which women get licensed, but also keep that momentum going up through the ranks of the industry and into the ranks of a leadership in firms? Anna: I think that making [the path to] licensure part of your education, as part of the track that, “I want to be a licensed architect so I’m going to school, and then I’m going to pursue my licensure as soon as I am done with school,” is a really good way to think about it. I’ve always thought that my license was the end of my education, and it did take me quite a while to get there, but I’m glad that I was able to achieve that. I think that your brain is fresher with taking tests, being able to recall structures, and use different things that you’re asked for in the exams. And if you can [take the exam concurrently with] IDP, then it would be a great way just to get them done, get them over with. And when it’s time to have a family, it’s time to do something else or travel, then you have the opportunity to always come back to architecture with your license, with your credibility that says, “I can practice here, or I can go wherever I want to and be able to practice.” It’s really something that is a valuable tool that you should have. Margo: Right. And the NCARB Board and staff are working hard to streamline internship and also make the ARE a little bit more efficient. I mean, I got registered in two and a half years after graduate school, and that was because you had to sit for the exam three days in a row and you just had to do it.

In 2018, the Legacy Project began to amplify the achievements of our female fellows by documenting the stories of the women architects in the Minnesota recognized with the AIA’s highest membership honor, Fellowship (FAIA). The project’s primary goals are: 1) to increase the visibility of women architects to break down stereotypes that may be instrumental in the formation of unconscious bias about the women in the profession and 2) to increase the visibility of women architects to encourage more women to seek a career in architecture and to stay productive in the profession despite adversity. Funding from the Minnesota Historical Society supported the first eleven interviews and oral histories; with this template, the project will continue to grow. Su Blumentals Elevated to Fellow in 1999, Susan Blumentals was the first woman design professional on the Minnesota Board of Registration and a catalyst for its transformation into a functioning, open regulatory agency. 1 Interview Su Blumentals, Interviewee Kimberly Long Loken, Interviewer November 27, 2018 Kimberly Long Loken: KL Su Blumentals: SB Track 1 00:00 KL Today is the 27th of November, 2018.

  • Against All Odds MIT's Pioneering Women of Landscape Architecture
    Against all Odds MIT’s Pioneering Women of Landscape Architecture * Eran Ben-Joseph, Holly D. Ben-Joseph, Anne C. Dodge1 Massachusetts Institute of Technology, School of Architecture and Planning, City Design and Development Group 77 Massachusetts Ave. 10-485 Cambridge, MA 02139 1 November 2006 * Recipient of the 6th Milka Bliznakov Prize Commendation: International Archive of Women in Architecture (IAWA) This research is aimed at exposing the influential, yet little known and short-lived landscape architecture program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) between 1900 and 1909. Not only was it one of only two professional landscape architecture education programs in the United States at the time (the other one at Harvard also started at 1900), but the first and only one to admit both women and men. Women students were attracted to the MIT option because it provided excellent opportunities, which they were denied elsewhere. Harvard, for example did not admit women until 1942 and all-women institutions such as the Cambridge School or the Cornell program were established after the MIT program was terminated. Unlike the other schools of that time, the MIT program did not keep women from the well-known academic leaders and male designers of the time nor from their male counterparts. At MIT, women had the opportunity to study directly with Beaux-Art design pioneers such as Charles S. Sargent, Guy Lowell, Désiré Despradelle, and the revered department head Francis Ward Chandler. Historical accounts acknowledged that a woman could “put herself through a stiff course” at MIT including advance science and structural engineering instruction.

  • Women Architects Outside the Spanish Borders: Patriarchal Models at International Congresses (1939–1975)
    arts Article Women Architects outside the Spanish Borders: Patriarchal Models at International Congresses (1939–1975) Josenia Hervás 1 and Silvia Blanco-Agüeira 2,* 1 School of Architecture, Universidad de Alcalá de Henares, 28801 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] 2 School of Architecture, Cesuga University College, 15190 A Coruña, Spain * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 2 December 2019; Accepted: 12 February 2020; Published: 20 February 2020 Abstract: In the complex political scene surrounding the death of Francisco Franco, Spanish female architects were crossing borders to try and understand what was happening abroad. This article provides unpublished data on the various experiences of female graduates in Spain when they shared their enthusiasm, concerns and energy with colleagues from other countries at international conferences that took place before the arrival of democracy. For almost four decades, between 1939 and 1975, Spanish female architects were limited by the patriarchal system’s own barriers and by the political barriers imposed by Franco’s regime. This paper aims to organise and articulate women’s memories, proving the implicit acceptance of patriarchal ideas and models at the start of the 20th century, the timidity of the congress resolutions in the sixties and the later awakening provided by UIFA (Union Internationale des Femmes Architectes) congresses. Finally, it is worth examining the metamorphosis that occurred in free western societies in the 20th century, with respect to the role played by women as a user and as a professional, through the attentive gaze of women architects from a nondemocratic country. Keywords: The International Union of Women Architects; UIFA; Spanish female architects; journeys; dictatorship; pioneering women; conference proceedings; exchanges between professional women 1.

Ltd, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India Abstract: Council of Architecture, India data of 2018 shows clearly that the growth of number of registered architects is very slow till 2014 since 2003,we have marked a sudden spurt of the same from 2015 till 2017 again a sudden fall in the year 2018 in India. While women graduate from architecture schools at near parity with men, less than 20 percent become licensed practitioners. In the field of architecture women face a lot of gender discrimination in terms of retention, promotion, earnings, access to seniority, leadership opportunities or belief that their contribution has been taken seriously. One of the most peculiar things about architectural practice is the range of non-merit based factors that may determine the successful practice start up and expansion: access to the dominant socio- economic patronage group, access to capital, access to social networks, access to alternative income streams while the practice is being established, the social advantage of the old school tie or family connections, and even more personal factors – like physical attractiveness, charisma and romantic partners. Of course few women have broken this gendered barrier and came out successfully in their business. But in most of the cases enabling and motivational factors are not available. Marxist feminism weds theory to practice and encourages us to rethink the relationship between architecture schools and the larger professional world.
