The Women in Architecture Exhibition will spotlight contributions women have made to the profession, offering a current snapshot of women’s changing role in architecture and design. Profiles of exceptional women in architecture and related fields such as urban planning, interiors, preservation, and sustainability will be examined in video, images, and text. A graphic timeline supplemented by curated perspectives and anecdotes will track notable statistics and landmark accomplishments. Original research highlighting women who have practiced architecture in the City of Houston, including the youngest generation of leaders, will be displayed alongside contributions by national and international forerunners. Completed and conceptual work will be shown in photographs, models, renderings, and illustrations. The exhibition will be on view through January 16, 2015. Architecture Center Houston will host two important associated events: a panel discussion about leadership among AIA Women in Architecture, on Tuesday, Nov. 4, and a visit with Diane Hoskins, FAIA, co-CEO of Gensler, on Monday, Dec. 1.
