Feminists Writing Architecture History
This symposium brings together architects and researchers Florencia Fernandez Cardoso, Lucia Perez Moreno and Sol Perez Martinez to reflect on historiography and architecture writing through a feminist lens. Moderated by CIVA researcher in residence Apolline Vranken, the guest speakers will discuss the question of gender in architecture and historiography, while also considering the essential steps to foster research on women and minorities.
A feminist perspective to architectural historiography offers insights that uncover and critique the ways in which gender bias shapes the architectural environment, discourses and professional practices. It also highlights the contributions of women architects and theorists who have been marginalized or overlooked in traditional narratives of architectural history. By reclaiming and amplifying these voices, writing about architecture from a feminist perspective offers nuanced critiques and transformative visions that challenge the status quo and push the field towards more inclusivity and social justice.
