Great time spent with Whynde Kuehn today with lots of interesting discussions. What else could it be about when the two of us meet than #businessarchitecture. Business architecture and #sustainability, business architecture in higher education, women in architecture, and so on… So many important topics we touched on. One thing is for sure. We can achieve a lot together in the architecture community. Whynde, I’m looking forward to collaborating even closer and turning some of the ideas we came up with today into reality with you. #bizarch #entarch #enterprisearchitecture

How brilliant is Zaha Hadid's contribution to architecture - great to see Octane Construction Ltd celebrating this, she was certainly a trailblazer 👏 pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo. #iwd2024 this year the focus on inclusion and here is a quote from their site "Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that's diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women's equality. Collectively we can all #InspireInclusion." https://lnkd.in/evxnY8JH

Women within architecture have always been underrepresented. This highly illustrated book provides a flagship reference for women's contribution to architecture, offering inspiration to readers through 100 profiles. All the architects in this book deserve international recognition. The reality is, though, that few are household names. Over the last decade, awareness of the need for gender balance in architecture has gained traction. Within the profession, women remain underrepresented, underpromoted and underpaid. Failure to acknowledge women's contribution to the built environment has perpetuated this cycle and impoverished us all. By showcasing 100 exceptional architects - who happen to be women - this book provides a flagship reference to inspire and support everyone working in the profession, no matter how they identify. Global in outlook, the book presents an equitable sample of architects from every continent. We all need heroines as much as heroes. Through illustrated interviews, each woman shares how they are responding to a profound disconnect between architecture and the people and landscape it serves. Their visions, methods and models of leadership are essential to connecting the needs of humans and the planet. In the words of Indigenous Canadian architect Eladia Smoke: 'Now is a critical time to seek out every opportunity to transmit this knowledge to future generations.' https://lnkd.in/eKXHvs2e
