Of all the visual arts, architecture is the one least often associated with women—and the architecture of public buildings and public space, even less so. This program examines a century of women’s involvement with architecture, both as designers and users. It looks at the public work of Louise Bethune, Julia Morgan, Denise Scott Brown, Wendy Foster, Zaha Hadid, and other esteemed female architects; discusses the relative prestige of female architects and their creations as compared to their male counterparts; and considers whether women offer a particular style or awareness in architectural design distinct from that of their male colleagues.
