Full Description
The Bloomsbury Global Encyclopedia of Women in Architecture 1960-2020 fills a void in architectural history, giving students, scholars and professional architects an authoritative reference to women architects and their work, and to key terms for gender and women's rights in architecture.
With over 1,000 entries and 600 images across two volumes, the encyclopedia covers a key period in women's history from 1960 to 2020 - from when women entered architecture schools in growing numbers, to the present day. Women now comprise half of all architecture students in many countries but students and scholars lack authoritative, globally connected histories of female forebears, peers, and mentors. This encyclopedia introduces them to the notable and overlooked women of the global built world, unearthing hidden histories and founding a new field of historical scholarship.
Within a geographical and historical framework, key architects from over 135 countries are included in detailed biographical entries. Coverage includes an expanded field of women designers from related fields (urbanism, landscape, and interiors) plus an enlarged sphere of architectural practice including influential scholars, writers, and activists as well as key terms, themes, books, conferences and exhibitions.
The complete work is also available digitally on the Bloomsbury Visual Arts hub via institutional subscription or perpetual access. For further details, visit:
