  • Comparing Institutional Policy Frameworks for Equity and Diversity
    Proceedings of the Society of Architectural Historians, Australia and New Zealand 30, Open Papers presented to the 30th Annual Conference of the Society of Architectural Historians, Australia and New Zealand held on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, July 2-5, 2013. http://www.griffith.edu.au/conference/sahanz-2013/ Naomi Stead and Neph Wake, “Carrots and Sticks: Comparing Institutional Policy Frameworks for Equity and Diversity in the Architecture Profession” in Proceedings of the Society of Architectural Historians, Australia and New Zealand: 30, Open, edited by Alexandra Brown and Andrew Leach (Gold Coast, Qld: SAHANZ, 2013), vol. 2, p 935-948. ISBN-10: 0-9876055-0-X ISBN-13: 978-0-9876055-0-4 Carrots and Sticks Comparing Institutional Policy Frameworks for Equity and Diversity in the Architecture Profession Naomi Stead and Neph Wake University of Queensland This paper is concerned with the historic and current governance of the architectural profession in Australia via its institutional bodies. Specifically, the paper examines the way that equity and diversity policy and strategies, as overseen and enacted by Institutes of architecture, differ over time and across comparable national environments. This paper, which represents one part of a larger study, examines the policy environment in architecture Australia and the USA, while the larger project also includes the UK and New Zealand. The larger project also addresses other professions in Australia. In Australia, the profession’s peak membership body—the Australian Institute of Architects—presently has a firm position on the role of policy, but a curious and perhaps incomplete suite of existing public policy instruments.

  • The Case of Australian Architect Nell Mccredie
    $UFKLWHFWXUDO Volz, K. 2020. Reconsidering ‘Minor’ Archives: The Case of Australian Architect Nell McCredie. Architectural Histories, 8(1): 24, pp. 1–9. DOI: +LVWRULHV https://doi.org/10.5334/ah.408 RESEARCH ARTICLE Reconsidering ‘Minor’ Archives: The Case of Australian Architect Nell McCredie Kirsty Volz This paper discusses the recent discovery of the archive of the Australian interwar architect Nell McCredie. Finding this archive was crucial to the identification of McCredie as the author of several Georgian Revival houses in suburban Brisbane from the 1920s and 1930s. From an intersectional perspective, this text examines McCredie’s career as a practice outside the canon and presents her design for Uanda House (1928), and her work as a public service architect prior to expanding her career into ceramics. Like it has many other women, gender bias limited her career in terms of both longevity and agency. The aim of this text is to propose an understanding of McCredie’s archive as ‘minor’. The ‘minor’ c ategory for architectural history is a valuable way to reposition canonical ‘major’ histories, especially in relation to the 20th-century history of modern architecture. In doing so, the ‘major’ and the ‘minor’ are understood as connected rather than opposed ideas, following Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari’s under- standing of these concepts. Thus, rather than viewing the work of women and minorities as ‘absent’ from canonical histories of architecture, this text addresses the historiographical potential of their reconsid- eration as ‘minor’, which shifts the discussion from a dichotomous relationship to one of interdependence. McCredie’s archive is as an opportunity to develop new frameworks through which to analyse the archives of early women architects.

Following requests from several younger conference participants who were looking forward to presenting at their first international conference and networking with established colleagues in their field, we have prepared this book of abstracts together with the program. We hope that you, our intended ASAA 2020 delegates, will use this document as a way to discover the breadth of research being undertaken and reach out to other scholars. Several of you have kindly recognised how much work went into preparing the program for our 600 participants. We think this is a nice way to at least share the program in an accessible format and to allow you all to see the exciting breadth of research on Asia going on in Australia and in the region.

  • Parlour: the First Five Years
    143 ISSN: 1755-068 www.field-journal.org vol.7 (1) Parlour: The First Five Years Naomi Stead, Gill Matthewson, Justine Clark, and Karen Burns Parlour: women, equity, architecture is a group whose name derives from a rather subversive feminist take on the 'parlour' as the room in a house traditionally used for receiving and conversing with visitors. In its first five years, Parlour has grown from a scholarly research project into an activist group with an international reach, but a localised approach to working through issues of equity and diversity in architecture. This paper is a lightly edited version of a keynote 'lecture' given jointly by four of the key members of the Parlour collective. 144 www.field-journal.org vol.7 (1) Some readers may be familiar with the work of the activist group Parlour: 1 Please note that the order of women, equity, architecture.1 Some might even know the origins of our authors’ names are listed by the name: a rather subversive feminist take on the ‘parlour’ as the room in a order in which we spoke – as house traditionally used for receiving and conversing with visitors. The opposed to a hierarchical account of importance or contribution. name itself derives from the French parler – to speak – hence, a space to speak. But even if you knew these things, you might not realize that what has become an internationally recognized activist organization, working towards greater gender equity in the architecture profession, began its existence as a scholarly research project. This paper is a lightly edited version of a keynote ‘lecture’ given jointly by four of the key members of the Parlour collective.

  • Architectural Historiography and Fourth Wave Feminism
    $UFKLWHFWXUDO Lange, T and Pérez-Moreno, LC. 2020. Architectural Historiography and Fourth Wave Feminism. Architectural Histories, 8(1): 26, +LVWRULHV pp. 1–10. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/ah.563 EDITORIAL Architectural Historiography and Fourth Wave Feminism Torsten Lange* and Lucía C. Pérez-Moreno† Over the course of the last decade, women from all over the world and from different social and cultural backgrounds continued to strive for equal rights in the face of discrimination, sexism, and misogyny. Uti- lizing new tools and strategies for communication, this ‘fourth wave’ of feminist thinking and activism is characterized by its commitment to a ‘diversity of purpose’ that recognises intersectionality as a key issue of our time and questions established sex/gender systems and gender as a binary category. This Spe- cial Collection explores the impact of current feminist discourse on architectural historiography. It offers critical debate on the legacy of second and third wave feminism, and asks for the ongoing relevance of the concerns and methodologies. It also highlights the potential of new strategies for documenting and researching the work of women architects, investigating the possibilities of digital tools and networked knowledge. Moreover, the collection considers histories of feminist architectural writing in relation to non-canonical geographies and takes a broader view to include LGBTIQ+ perspectives on the built envi- ronment. It offers diverse explorations of these key issues and presents necessary reflections to widen feminist enquiries in architectural discourse. Introduction of established sex/gender systems, heterosexism, and Feminism is back. Indeed, we might argue that it was binary gender norms.

  • The Politics of Friends in Modern Architecture, 1949-1987”
    Title: “The politics of friends in modern architecture, 1949-1987” Name of candidate: Igea Santina Troiani, B. Arch, B. Built Env. Supervisor: Professor Jennifer Taylor This thesis was submitted as part of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Design, Queensland University of Technology in 2005 i Key words Architecture - modern architecture; History – modern architectural history, 1949-1987; Architects - Alison Smithson, Peter Smithson, Denise Scott Brown, Robert Venturi, Elia Zenghelis, Rem Koolhaas, Philosophy - Jacques Derrida, Politics of friendship; Subversive collaboration ii Abstract This thesis aims to reveal paradigms associated with the operation of Western architectural oligarchies. The research is an examination into “how” dominant architectural institutions and their figureheads are undermined through the subversive collaboration of younger, unrecognised architects. By appropriating theories found in Jacques Derrida’s writings in philosophy, the thesis interprets the evolution of post World War II polemical architectural thinking as a series of political friendships. In order to provide evidence, the thesis involves the rewriting of a portion of modern architectural history, 1949-1987. Modern architectural history is rewritten as a series of three friendship partnerships which have been selected because of their subversive reaction to their respective establishments. They are English architects, Alison Smithson and Peter Smithson; South African born architect and planner, Denise Scott Brown and North American architect, Robert Venturi; and Greek architect, Elia Zenghelis and Dutch architect, Rem Koolhaas. Crucial to the undermining of their respective enemies is the friends’ collaboration on subversive projects. These projects are built, unbuilt and literary. Warring publicly through the writing of seminal texts is a significant step towards undermining the dominance of their ideological opponents.
