Abstract:
To examine architects' judgments of male and female applicants represented by the information in resumes, 204 architects, 156 men and 48 women, licensed in the state of Connecticut participated in a 2(job level) by 2(sex) between-subjects study. Architects were asked how they would rate applicants' potential (including the decision to hire) and gender-role characteristics judged on the basis of one-page resumes. Architects randomly assigned resumes for one of four evaluation conditions (intern or senior architect; male or female), rated the applicant on seven job-related characteristics, e.g., technical skill, potential for advancement, and completed the Bern Sex-role Inventory as they thought items applied to the applicant. Analysis indicated that male architect respondents were more likely to hire male applicants than female applicants as senior architects and that female applicants were judged to be as masculine-typed as were male applicants.

Abstract:
Musculoskeletal pain is a substantial health concern for architects. To meet a work requirement, the architect must adjust and adapt to various postures at work. So, the current research aimed to find postural awareness among architects with musculoskeletal pain. Material and Method: This cross-sectional study included 97 participants with backgrounds as architects. Both male and women participants were included in this cross-sectional study. Participants ranged in age and gender. A postural awareness scale is used to measure postural awareness. Results: Data were analyzed employing the Statistical Chi-square test and One-Sample-t test. In our investigation, the t-test produced a significant statistical result with a p-value below the 5% significance level (i.e., 0.001 < 0.05). Conclusion: Based on the current findings, it can be concluded that architects with musculoskeletal pain were significant awareness of their posture. Key words: postural awareness, musculoskeletal pain, architects

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 This article provides unpublished data on the various experiences of female graduates in Spain when they shared their enthusiasm, concerns and energy with colleagues from other countries at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.

Abstract:
The history of women in architecture in Germany began more than a century ago. Although the earlier history of the pioneering women architects is well documented for Berlin, their contribution to the city's post-war rebuilding has so far received little appreciation. This is the case even though Berlin is the only city where the two German states' different social contexts and building cultures co-existed, and were in explicit competition. Asking why so little is known about women architects working at this time in West and East Berlin, this thesis provides an initial comprehensive picture of women's contribution to the re-building of Berlin, made by working freelance in the West and holding responsible positions in the East. At the same time, furnishing a second original contribution, the thesis explores obstacles limiting their design activity on both sides of the border. It explains to what extent similarities and differences in the women's education, role models, and conditions of professionalization determined design opportunities open to women architects. The research framework is a situational analysis, considering the different social contexts as natural environment, the culture of the architectural profession as social environment, and women architects' limited participation as problem situation. Feminist and gender sensitive theory and methods reveal the interplay of obstacles to women architects' participation. Bourdieu's theory of a State Nobility reinforces understanding of which aspects of the culture of the profession sustained the gender divisions in post-war architectural practice. Eight interview-based cases explain the different strategies of these women to succeed in the respective context. The analysis of their work and representation shows: women architects in the West remained marginalised during these two decades, and despite explicit political support for women in engineering professions, their more integrated colleagues in the East also failed to surpass the glass ceiling. Assembling detailed information about and from these eight women, the cases support equality-oriented documentation of a marginalized group in historical research. Given women architects' limited advancement until today, this thesis forms part of a Feminist Intervention into architectural history that needs to be continued.

Abstract:
Women architects are effectively absent from architectural history in Australia. Consulting first the archival record, this thesis establishes the presence of 230 women architects qualified and/or practising in NSW between 1900 and 1960. It then analyses some of these early women architects' achievements and difficulties in the profession, drawing on interviews with 70 practitioners or their friends and family. Finally it offers brief biographical accounts of eight leading early women architects, arguing that their achievements deserve more widespread historical attention in an adjusted canon of architectural merit. There are also 152 illustrations evidencing their design contributions. Thus the research draws on quantitative, qualitative, biographical and visual modes of representation in establishing a historical presence for these early women architects. The thesis forms part of the widespread political project of feminist historical recovery of women forebears, while also interrogating the ends and means of such historiography. The various threads describing women's absence and presence in the architectural profession are woven together throughout the thesis using three feminist approaches which sometimes harmonise and sometimes debate with each other. Described as "liberal feminism", "socialist feminism" and "postmodern feminism", they each put into play distinct patterns of questioning, method and interpretation, but all analyse historiography as a strategy for understanding society and effecting social change.

Abstract:
This dissertation investigates the early twentieth century work of Irish-born interior designer and architect, Eileen Gray. While the existing literature has tended to read Gray and her work primarily in relation to major male modernist movements and figures, this dissertation contends that considering her engagement with the alternative modernisms developed by other women artists and writers at the time will enrich our understanding of the wider social, cultural and historical implications of her work. In order to make sense of what scholars have long recognised as Gray's critically different architecture and design I analyse her work in relation to three of her female contemporaries: the artist Romaine Brooks, and writers Radclyffe Hall and Djuna Barnes. Such an analysis reveals that Gray's critically different work was importantly related to the critically different aesthetics, genders and sexualities that Gray and many of her female contemporaries cultivated at the time.
The first chapter argues that debates about domestic architecture and design were also importantly debates about modern bodies and subjects and provides the framework for the analyses that follow. Chapter 2 compares Gray's early lacquer works, La Voie Lactee (ca. 1912), Le Magicien de la Nuit (1913) and Le Destin (1914) to Romaine Brooks' two paintings from 1910, White Azaleas and The Screen, focusing on their use of decadent aesthetics. Chapter 3 considers Gray's first intricately designed house, E.1027 (1928), in relation to the content and cultural impact of Radclyffe Hall's 1928 novel, The Well of Loneliness. Chapter 4 examines Gray's extremely private and less known house, Tempe a Pailla (1934), in relation to the obscure and non-communicative narrative strategies of Djuna Barnes' 1936 novel, Nightwood. Overall, the argument that binds my dissertation is that Gray's work both contributed and responded to changing conceptions of gendered and sexual subjects in the first half of the last century.

Abstract:
Includes 2 previously published journal articles by the author: Women in architecture: a personal reflection ; and, "Half the sky, but no room of her own", as appendices. Includes bibliographical references (p. 233-251) An examination of some texts influential in the discourse of Australian architecture in the twentieth century. Explores from a feminist standpoint the gendered nature of discourse in contemporary Western architecture from an Australian perspective. The starting point for the thesis was an examination of Australian architectual discourse in search of some explanation for the continuing low numbers of women practitioners in Australia. Hypothesizes that contemporary Western architecture is imbued with a pervasive and dominant masculinity and that this is deeply imbedded in its discursive constructions: the body housed by architecture is assume to be male, the mind which produces architecture is assumed to be masculine. Given the cultural location of Australian architecture as a marginal participant in the wider arena of contemporary Western / international discourses, focuses on writing about two iconic figues in Western architecture; Le Corbusier, of international reknown; and, Glenn Murcutt, of predominantly local significance.

Volz, Kirsty. "Architect and Ceramist : Nell McCredie's Architectural Works." Thesis, University of Queensland, 2021. https://espace.library.uq.edu.au/view/UQ:b58cd59.

Abstract:
Nellie (Nell) McCredie (1901-1968) worked as both an architect and a ceramist. She was enrolled in the second cohort of the Bachelor of Architecture at the University of Sydney between 1919 and 1923. However, after graduating, McCredie was unable to find employment in architecture; instead, she found work in various drafting roles in Sydney. In her search for full-time employment in architecture, she moved to Cairns in July 1925 and spent four months working for a small architectural firm, Lawrence and Lordan.[1] In November 1925, McCredie moved to Brisbane and joined the Queensland Government’s State Advances Corporation in the Workers Dwelling Board (WDB). She stayed there for three years designing affordable homes, funded by government-backed loans, for working and middle class families. During this time, she designed at least one house as a private commission, outside of her employment with the WDB. While in Brisbane, McCredie started taking classes in ceramics with LJ Harvey at the Central Technical College.[2]

McCredie returned to Sydney in 1929 at the beginning of the Great Depression. Upon returning home, she undertook further training in ceramics, learning to throw pottery on a wheel.[3] What started as a hobby transformed into McCredie’s full-time career throughout the 1930s.[4] By 1932 she had started her own ceramics teaching and production business based out of a studio on George Street in Sydney’s CBD. McCredie also continued to practice architecture independently in Sydney during the 1930s and 1940s. One of her most significant architectural works in Sydney was her design for a purpose-built ceramics studio in Epping in 1936. She operated her ceramics business from Epping with her brother Robert until she died in 1968.[5]Existing histories on McCredie’s career have focused on her ceramics rather than her architecture. The lack of attention paid to McCredie’s architecture is not because her work was insubstantial but because of the complexities in attributing authorship by architects to their buildings.[6] This thesis details McCredie’s career in architecture for the first time, which has been made possible by the discovery of her architectural archive.

McCredie’s architectural archive provides a rare opportunity to discuss the built work of one of Australia’s early women architects. This research has led to the identification of 12 previously undiscovered houses by McCredie, including seven houses in Queensland and five in Sydney’s northern suburbs. Of these 12, 10 are extant. Prior to this research, only one of her houses had been identified, Uanda (1928) in the Brisbane suburb of Wilston. It was only discovered after an application to demolish the house was submitted to Brisbane City Council in 1998. The council sought an interim heritage protection order for the house, which the then owners of Uanda disputed in the Queensland Land and Environment Court in 1999. Fortunately, the decision to protect Uanda was upheld, and it was included on the Queensland Heritage Register in 2000. The court case over the heritage listing of Uanda is an important departure point for this thesis, especially in terms of how the aesthetic merits of the house were debated between heritage expert Richard Allom and historian Judith McKay.[7]

The discussion of McCredie’s architectural works presented in this thesis also provides new insights into the careers of the architects she worked alongside. McCredie was among the first identifiable cohort of Australian women in architecture, who as Julie Willis wrote, emerged in earnest in the 1920s.[8] This study builds on existing research on Australia’s early women architects completed by Willis, McKay and Bronwyn Hanna. In particular, it provides new details about the careers of Australian interwar women architects, Ursula Jones, Eunice Slaughter, Dorothy Brennan, Lorna Lukin, Marjorie Hudson, Rosina Edmunds and Heather Sutherland. Additionally, McCredie’s archive also contributes to existing histories about the institutions that she was involved with throughout her career, including new findings into the histories of the WDB and the curriculum delivered into Australia’s first Bachelor of Architecture degree at the University of Sydney.

Abstract:
From the 1970s social and political changes in Australia and the burgeoning feminist movement were challenging established power relationships and hierarchies. This paper explores how in the 1980s groups of women architects actively took positions that were outside the established professional mainstream. A 1982 seminar at the University of Queensland galvanised women in Brisbane to form the Association of Women Architects, Town Planners and Landscape Architects. Formally founded the association was multi-disciplinary and not affiliated with the established bodies. Its aims included promoting women and working to reform the practice of these professions. While predominately made up of architects, the group never became part of the Royal Australian Institutes of Architects, it did inject itself into its activities, spectacularly sponsoring the Indian architect Revathi Kamath to speak at the 1984 RAIA. For five years the group was active organising talks, speakers, a newsletter and participating in Architecture Week. In 1984 an exhibition ‘Profile: Women in Architecture’ featured the work of 40 past and present women architects and students, including a profile of Queensland’s then oldest practitioner Beatrice Hutton. Sydney architect Eve Laron, the convenor of Constructive Women in Sydney opened the exhibition. There was an active interchange between Women in Architecture in Melbourne, Constructive Women, and the Queensland group, with architects such as Ann Keddie, Suzanne Dance and Barbara van den Broek speaking in Brisbane. While the focus of the group centred around women’s issues such as traditional prejudice, conflicting commitments and retraining, its architectural interests were not those of conventional practice. It explored and promoted the design of cities and buildings that were sensitive to users including women and children, design using natural materials and sustainability. While the group only existed for a short period, it advanced positions and perspectives that were outside the mainstream of architectural discourse and practice. Nearly 40 years on a new generation of women is leading the debate into the structural inequities in the architectural profession which are very similar to those tackled by women architects in the 1980s.

Abstract:
The gradual per-capita decline in the size of the public service in Australia since the orthodoxy of economic rationalism became entrenched in the 1990s has impacted on the design of the built environment most obviously in the shift away from the in-house design and delivery of public works by government-employed architects. Yet with rising interest in design-led cities, a new generation of architects in state and local government are taking leadership roles in design governance, where public sector actors exert influence predominantly through informal means such as through design advisory, review and advocacy processes. These roles represent an important point at which architects can participate in the complex multi-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder delivery of projects and positively influence the quality of built environment design outcomes, for the public good. Yet this form of architectural work tends to be invisible and not well understood by the profession. Women at present have high visibility in such design leadership roles in Australia, with all State and Territory Government Architect positions and many City Architect positions currently held by women. This paper investigates women’s experience in public sector design leadership roles to better understand this work and how career paths involving the public sector have changed since earlier eras of government public works departments. Drawing on interviews, the paper explores aspects of women’s career experience including the specific skills and expertise utilised in design advisory roles, and the extent to which this form of work is recognised within the profession. Contemporary career narratives are analysed in relation to an historical survey of women architects in the public service and changing ideas about professional expertise. The paper focuses on exploring two themes: the ways in which public sector work is incorporated into portfolio careers in architecture, and the expertise involved in design leadership.

Abstract:
This paper considers the stories (oral histories) of three Queensland women architects: Fiona Gardiner, Helen Wilson and Ruth Woods. Studying architecture in the 1970s and working in architecture from 1980 to the present, each story reveals new insights into the experiences of women architects in Queensland at a time when women were achieving parity in architectural education and greater representation within the profession. A focus of the paper will be the move made by each to the new and emerging discipline of heritage and conservation in Queensland in the 1980 and 1990s. Revealing new histories of the heritage movement in Queensland, it will be argued that the value of their stories also lies in the “benefits” they felt heritage work offered women architects practising in Queensland. These include the chance to establish sole practices (together with the flexibility this offered) and the opportunity to escape the traditional hierarchies of mainstream (private) practice.

Abstract:
Female architects of Socialist Yugoslavia, many with families and children concurrent with their career peaks, commonly co-opted an image of the avant-garde artist for their professional lives. The explicit normalcy and domesticity of their private spheres appeared to be largely and publicly suppressed in favor of a black-clad persona, whose work and communication veered away from the everyday and relatable, choosing to focus on the outwardly conceptual, and the abstract. Additionally, the overt separation of the collective government-run architectural practice, and a simultaneous individual (i.e., private architectural practice) for women architects triggered a similar type of code switching. In that case, the avant-garde iconography provided for a consumable media-savvy figure. For the architects of Atelje Lik and the architect Svetlana Kana Radević, operating in a country where architecture was the precise embodiment of societal ideals, code-switching counteracted the established patriarchal environment, but also positioned their private practices, better placed to realize their progressive social ideals through architecture.

Abstract:
In May 2017, the AIA honored Paul R. Williams with a Gold Medal. At the ceremony, his granddaughter advocated for an architectural education that is more just throughout ethnicity and genders, a call that was stated fourteen years earlier by Melvin Mitchell when he noted that “black America is entering the twenty-first century with a shortage of […] black […] architects.” Unfortunately, Mitchell’s question of “what those […] missing black architects must do toward the furtherance of the cultural and socio-economic agenda of today’s Black America” has still to be fully answered. Though African Americans made up 13 percent of the total U.S. population, only 2 percent of licensed architects in the U.S. are African American. In 2007, African-American women made up a scant two-tenths of a percent of licensed architects in the U.S., for just 196 practitioners. It is important that “[black] schools … be at the forefront of establishing the theoretical as well as practical rapprochement between black architects and the Black America they were spawned from […]” The time to assess of the educational development in black schools has arrived. In Freire’s The Pedagogy of the Oppressed, education is a form of empowerment that liberates minorities from a standardized system of knowledge. The educator has to tailor the teaching experience through a deep understanding of the students. With this approach the educator can learn about the context the students live in, helping them visualize individual problems, advocating for their awareness and willingness to take a professional, creative and social stand. This approach is founded on the idea that real education implies a not hierarchical, horizontal relationship between the teacher and students, one that does not pour knowledge from teacher to students. As Freire says, “the teacher is no longer the one who teaches, but one who is taught in dialogue with students […]. They become responsible for a process in which [everyone] grow.” Developing Freire’s argument, we propose a relationship teacher – students that is circulation of knowledge between the teacher and the students, but also fellow students and communities. Education is carried on globally to prepare the learners to a reality that goes beyond their immediate surrounding. Following Freire’s pedagogical principles, schools of architecture need to focus on a different approach to education, one that leads to their enfranchisement. Education should reconnect these individuals to the environment they live in while, at the same time, give them the opportunity to move beyond the expected path of architectural education. The paper presents three sections, each with a theoretical description that frames the pedagogical approach and the critical analysis of the studio. The conclusion lays down the final outcomes and the further development of the research.

Abstract:
The Public Spaces of Tomorrow are places that enable young children 0-5 to flourish. Contemporary places support healthy child development. The early years are the foundation for lifelong physical and mental health, wellbeing, and social skills. Designing, planning, and building new public spaces for our babies and toddlers should take into consideration the wellbeing of their caregivers. Engage parents, grandparents, siblings, or pregnant women in the design process provides for the ability to create new types of public spaces. Knowledge of how to do it for wellbeing in specific circumstances, places, social or natural environment is the purpose of the work (for ex. the Covid-19 pandemic is still unfolding but the principle of healthy development or caregiver isn`t changing). Responsibility of local authorities, urban planners, architects, park managers, all people engaged in city planning and functioning, have their role to play. During the collaborative workshop Mentor and Student Research Lab 3 in Poland (Gdańsk University of Technology) numerous investigation and methods were tried to answer research questions on how to resolve problems of designing public spaces of tomorrow.

Abstract:
The presence of women is already the majority in architecture students, with a growing trend for years; not so, for now, in the teaching staff. Architecture, like other disciplines in the Western world, has traditionally been male, but today the classrooms are full of young women who want to be architects. Teaching in architecture schools, despite the abundance of feminist studies, does not generally take into account the gender perspective. The study plans do not provide specific spaces for this matter, which favors the invisibility of women's work in the discipline and does not offer enough non-male references to students. This paper presents a two-year teaching experience that includes the gender perspective in the teaching of History of art and architecture for first-year students. La presencia de mujeres es ya mayoritaria en el estudiantado de arquitectura, con una tendencia creciente desde hace años; no así, por ahora, en el claustro docente. La arquitectura, como otras disciplinas en el mundo occidental, ha sido tradicionalmente masculina, pero hoy las aulas están llenas de chicas que quieren ser arquitectas. La docencia en las escuelas de arquitectura, pese a la abundancia de estudios feministas, no tiene generalmente en cuenta la perspectiva de género. Los planes de estudio no prevén espacios específicos para este asunto, lo que favorece la invisibilidad del trabajo de las mujeres en la disciplina y no ofrece suficientes referentes no masculinos a los/las estudiantes. Esta comunicación presenta una experiencia docente de dos años que incluye la perspectiva de género en la enseñanza de la Historia del arte y de la arquitectura para estudiantes de primer curso.

Abstract:
Students and practitioners of architecture challenge the hegemonic Whiteness, maleness, cisheteronormativity, and capitalist control of these disciplines as a means of democratizing and decolonizing practice to create conditions for Black self-determination. This paper considers how architectural professionals have responded to contemporary movements for social justice in the United States and the ways in which some are more and some less successful at addressing the intersecting nature of identity-based oppressions. Organizations and convenings, including the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA), Black in Design, the Design Futures Public Interest Design Student Leadership Forum, Equity by Design, and the Architecture Lobby are considered from 2012 to the pre-pandemic spring of 2020, with a focus on the emergence of new spaces and shifts in how existing spaces engage with activist movements as a result of changing political conditions. The paper provides historical background and constructive critique. It concludes with recommendations for creating institutions that respond proactively, rather than reactively, to racist violence, sexual harassment, assault, and exploitation, and for making lasting meaning of these injustices when they occur. The roles Black people and other people of color, particularly women, have played, and the roles White people, particularly men, and White institutions must play in creating an antiracist, feminist architecture are a focus of this paper.

Abstract:
Coined in 1994 by a caucus of Black women activists, reproductive justice is the “human right to maintain personal bodily autonomy, have children, not have children, and parent the children we have in safe and sustainable communities”.1 After the overturn of Roe v. Wade, access to reproductive healthcare is radically restricted across the U.S., compounding systemic race, gender, and class-based inequities that have always made healthcare inaccessible for many. The landmark Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision in 2022 rolled back nearly 50 years of reproductive rights protections and unleashed a plethora of laws that make it more difficult to access reproductive health care, riskier to assist those seeking care, and precarious to teach about issues of race, gender, and sexuality. As stated in the dissenting opinion by Justices Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan, “Whatever the exact scope of the coming laws, one result of today’s decision is certain: the curtailment of women’s rights, and of their status as free and equal citizens.”2 In the U.S. today, bodily autonomy and academic freedom are geographically situated. Within this context of curtailed freedoms, architects and educators must confront the spatial realities of these restrictions. New dialogues must emerge at architecture’s intersectional edges – between designers, activists, social justice advocates, legal experts, public health practitioners, and students – to explore how the built environment can better support human lives.

Abstract:
Culinary rituals and their associated spaces are a pretext to propose a line of a collaborative study of end-of-cycle projects that relies on travel as a research tool. In April 2021, a team of European and Latina American women, seven architects, an art historian and an artist, initiated a virtual collaborative symposium with this shared theme, culinary rituals. The pilot experience generated a learning community diverse in its geolocation and approaches, and the builder of web space for architectural practice is still active. The virtual meetings built an innovative space for architectural research practice. This experience took as a case study the kitchen, a traditionally feminine place of action, based on the culinary rituals discovered while travelling. Through the idea of travel, we move from a teaching of the effect to the affective. Los rituales culinarios y sus espacios asociados son un pretexto para plantear una línea de estudio colaborativo de trabajos fin de ciclo que se apoya en el viajar como herramienta de investigación. En abril de 2021 un equipo de mujeres, siete arquitectas, una historiadora del arte y una pintora, residentes en Europa y Latinoamérica, inician un simposio colaborativo virtual con este tema compartido denominado rituales culinarios. La experiencia piloto generó una comunidad de aprendizaje diversa en su geolocalización y enfoques, y constructora de un espacio en la red para la práctica arquitectónica aún activa. Los encuentros virtuales construyeron un espacio innovador para la práctica investigadora arquitectónica. Esta experiencia tomó como caso de estudio la cocina, un lugar de acción tradicionalmente femenino, a partir de los rituales culinarios descubiertos al viajar. A través de la idea del viaje, transitamos de una docencia de lo efectivo a una enseñanza en lo afectivo.
