Women in Architecture: Profiles

It is a fact that women are underrepresented in the field of architecture throughout most of the world. In 2014 a sector study by the Architects Council of Europe1 found that 39% of those working in the profession were women. In the United States a report by the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture2 noted that while 40% of those enrolled in degree programs in architecture were women, only 21% of those working in the field were. While reliable statistics for the profession are not available for Muslim societies writ large, the situation is certainly similar if not worse, depending on the country. Nonetheless, throughout the region there are many examples of women are prominent architects that have had a significant impact in the field. For example, in the 13th cycle (2013-2016) of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture (AKAA), women played a significant role in 4 of the six projects to&nbsp;<a href="https://archnet.org/collections/1215/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">receive the award</a>. Indeed, a woman was among the recipients of the first&nbsp;<a href="https://archnet.org/collections/139" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AKAA Cycle in 1980</a>, and another served on the jury. This collection is created to celebrate the role of women in the architecture of Muslim societies throughout history.&nbsp;&nbsp;It should be noted that it is not new for women to play a role in shaping the built environment of Muslim societies. At various points in history women have been patrons of construction projects, including <a href="http://archnet.org/sites/1730" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jami’ al-Qarawiyyin</a> (857/242 AH) in Fes, <a href="http://archnet.org/sites/1803" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Madrasa al-Firdaws</a> (1235-1236/633 AH) in Aleppo, and the <a href="http://archnet.org/sites/2536" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Khayr al-Manazil Masjid</a> (1561-62/968-69 AH) in Delhi.&nbsp;For more examples, see the collection <a href="http://archnet.org/collections/855" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Women as Patrons</a>.&nbsp;The primary focus of this collection, however, is women architects and designers from the 20th century to today. The collection grew from the 2013 video <a href="http://archnet.org/media_contents/89774" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Arab Women in Architecture</a>, created by the <a href="https://www.archnet.org/admin/collections/856/edit#" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Center for the Study for the Built Environment</a>. The film is documents some of the exciting work being done by women in the countries of the Middle East, as well as the challenges they face. In the collection you will find <a href="http://archnet.org/collections/855" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">profiles of the architects and designers </a>represented in the video and others from throughout the Muslim world, as well as samples of buildings designed by women. Currently being uploaded is the collection <a href="http://archnet.org/collections/850" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Women in Modern and Contemporary Territories of Turkish Architecture</a>, an expansive research project developed by <a href="http://archnet.org/authorities/2975/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dr. Meral Ekincioglu</a>. This project, like all aspects of this collection, is a project under development that will continue to grow and take shape as we move forward.

Indonesia

The Microlibraries is a series of environmentally friendly reading facilities, under 250 square metres, built on kampung (urban village) and park locations around Indonesia to facilitate public places of identity and community. Qualities shared by all include passive climate strategies (sun shading, rain protection, cross ventilation) and contextually conscious but eye-catching design, while each has a unique approach towards the notion of public education, reading, and playing. Of the six built so far, some employ traditional local materials while others have facades inventively composed of ice-cream buckets, PVC pipes, porous folded textiles, or Zollinger-inspired, waffle-like wooden frameworks. One includes a rooftop vegetable garden and a slide; another features a net where children can lie to read, and a giant swing suspended beneath. To reach remote locations and ensure affordability, the architects are investigating a different, standardised, modular timber 'flat-pack' approach with possibilities for customisation.
