This book documents
contemporary architectural projects designed by women architects participating
in diverse forms of practice in diverse regions around the world. Examining
each design within its unique context, this collection of forty projects
includes beautifully illustrated case studies of transformative buildings,
encompassing a range of sizes, building types, materials, and construction
methods. Overcoming historical challenges within architectural practice, the
women architects in this collection lead their firms and expand the field of
architecture.
