https://www.habiter-autrement.org > Genre-Habitat Sexué -------------------------------------- Les femmes et l'architecture Interview de Susanna Torre une architecte américaine
Torre has built a practice based upon an intense theoretical, ethical, and civic sense of architecture and urban design. Her work, covering a range of scales, reveals the high value she places on continuous learning and engagement in mindful, ethical and moral discourse regarding design.1 She has taught and directed architecture programs,2 and engaged in creative research.3 She is an author, lecturer, and active practitioner who extends her work into civic and community action.4 Born in 1944 in Puan, Argentina, she has lived in the United States since 1968. Ms Torre was one of the founding members of the International Archive of Women in Architecture, located at Virginia Tech, and served on its board from 1985 – 1995. She was recently elected Emerita Advisor of the IAWA. In 1977 the Architectural League of New York, through its Archive of Women in Architecture, published Women in American Architecture: a Historic and Contemporary Perspective. Torre edited and wrote the introduction and several segments to this book. She was project director for the exhibit, "Women in Architecture," which opened at the Brooklyn Museum in 1977 and then toured around the United States. http://www.caus.vt.edu/CAUS/Newsletters/asp/Uploads/torre.pdf
Where Are the Women Architects? Great Names and Forgotten Women in Architecture and Design http://architecture.about.com/cs/architectsmasters/a/womenarchitects.htm
Zaha Hadid Born in Baghdad, Iraq in 1950, Zaha Hadid is the first woman to win a Pritzker Architecture Prize. Her work experiments with new spatial concepts and encompasses all fields of design, ranging from urban spaces to products and furniture.
Julia Morgan Julia Morgan designed hundreds of homes, churches, office buildings, hospitals, stores and educational buildings in California, including the famous Hearst Castle.
Marion Mahony Griffin Frank Lloyd Wright's first employee was a woman, and she became the world's first woman to be officially licensed as an architect. Like many other women who design buildings, Wright's employee was lost in the shadow of her male associates. Still, it's easy to speculate that Marion Mahony Griffin contributed greatly to Wright's career and also to the career of her husband, Walter Burley Griffin.
Denise Scott Brown Over the past century, there have been many husband-wife teams. Typically the husbands have attracted the fame and glory while the women worked quietly (and some would argue, intelligently) in the background. However, Denise Scott Brown had already made important contributions to the field of urban design when she met and married her husband, Robert Venturi. Although he appears to be more frequently in the spotlight, her research and teachings have shaped modern understanding of the relationship between design and society.
Susana Torre Born in Argentina, Susana Torre is best known for her many renovations and remodelings in the United States. Susana Torre, ed., Women in American Architecture: A Historic and Contemporary Perspective (New York: Whitney Library of Design, 1977).
Anna Keichline Anna Keichline was the first woman to become a registered architect of Pennsylvania, but she is best known for inventing the hollow, fireproof "K Brick," which was a precursor to the modern concrete block.

Finnish Women Architects of the Early Twentieth Century Finnish women began to study and practise architecture sooner than in many other countries. The Virtual Finland Web site has biographies and information about several of these early women architects.
Forgotten Women While men built skyscrapers and monuments, our most intimate buildings -- the homes we live in -- have often been shaped by women. In 19th century America, many women designed and published building plans for their homes and barns.
