O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar a participação das mulheres arquitetas e urbanistas na produção do projeto arquitetônico e analisar seu percurso profissional, procurando entender as formas de inserção dessas mulheres no mercado de trabalho de arquitetura no Brasil, enfatizando sua participação na produção de edificações. O objeto da pesquisa foi elaborado a partir de depoimentos e entrevistas junto a profissionais selecionadas a partir de projetos publicados em dois periódicos especializados brasileiros as revistas AU Arquitetura e Urbanismo e Projeto Design em edições da década de 1990. A hipótese desta pesquisa é que a mulheres vivenciam maiores dificuldades no processo de inserção profissional do que os profissionais masculinos no mercado de trabalho de arquitetura. A base para desenvolvimento desta análise foi construída a partir da bibliografia sobre o tema disponível no Brasil, tendo também como referência exemplos internacionais. / The goal of this study was to identify the role of women architects in the development of architecture projects, as well as analyze their professional careers and how they insert themselves in the architecture labor market, with special regard to their participation in the production of buildings. Interviews were conducted with professionals selected on the basis of projects published in two major specialized Brazilian architecture periodicals AU Arquitetura e Urbanismo and Projeto Design during the 1990s. The assumption underlying this study is that women have to face harsher conditions to insert themselves in the architecture labor market. This study was also based on the literature on this theme available in Brazil, as well as on examples from abroad.

[EN] The aims of the present work are to document the context and the content of the copy of August, 1975 of Architectural Design, Women in Architecture and to see the sense and validity of a re-edition or equivalent edition 40 years later. The temporary lapse of the study focuses, basically, about the year 1975 and, about 2015. The resultant study consists of the following parts: Context: a) Study of context in the 70s where it is checked both the social and economic environment and the architectural one, especially regarding to women and architecture. b) Articles that explain the incorporation of the gender perspective to architecture and to urbanism. The magazine Architectural Design 8/1975, Women in Architecture: c) A detailed study of the magazine like an object in itself. d) A critical review of some works of architecture produced by women architects that contributed to the magazine of 1975. A review of the International Seminar Women in Architecture in Valencia: a description of the debate held in Valencia and of the result of the same one, and the same for the international Seminar in London. Considerations for a new edition, today. Conclusions In addition, annexes with conversations with protagonists of the magazine are provided / [ES] Los objetivos del presente trabajo son documentar el contexto y el contenido del ejemplar de agosto de 1975 de Architectural Design, Women in Architecture y ver el sentido y vigencia de una re-edición o edición equivalente 40 años después.

American and British exhibitions of town planning, dwellings, and home furnishings proliferated during World War II as architects seized an opportunity to rethink housing on a mass scale. “Tomorrow on Display” analyzes a range of these displays to illuminate how wartime planning and modern architecture were inextricably intertwined. The dissertation demonstrates how concepts such as the neighborhood unit and the production of modern dwellings were spurred by the war as architects in the U.S. and Britain envisioned more egalitarian forms of living. But it also illustrates how architects, curators, and institutions promoted such concepts, visualizing postwar housing for non-professional audiences by connecting architectural designs to ideas about democracy during and following the war. As “Tomorrow on Display” shows, with men enlisted in the conflict, many of these new curators and museum personnel were women. Chapter one analyzes the exhibitions Wartime Housing (Museum of Modern Art, 1942) and Rebuilding Britain (Royal Institute of British Architects, 1943) to illustrate how curators framed the war as an opportunity to modernize housing. Chapter two examines Look at Your Neighborhood (MoMA, 1944) and Planning Your Neighborhood (Army Bureau of Current Affairs, 1945) to illuminate the ways in which town-planning displays communicated to visitors the egalitarian potential of the neighborhood unit. Chapter three looks at Integrated Building (MoMA, 1945) and Kitchen Planning (British Gas Industry, 1945) to elucidate how kitchen-planning exhibits encouraged women to think of the postwar future by planning their new homes. Finally, chapter four studies how model housing displays such as Idea House II (Walker Art Center, 1947-48) and 4 Ways of Living (Ministry of Health/Council of Industrial Design, 1949) encouraged postwar audiences to envision themselves living in and furnishing modern homes. Collectively this research reveals how curators and their institutions called upon visitors to advocate, personalize, and consume as democratic duties. Ultimately, the project argues that the exhibitions’ underlying ideological agendas constructed and reinforced a democratic citizenry to combat the totalitarian regimes against which the U.S. and Britain were unified. / 2025-10-31T00:00:00Z

100 years after the official acceptance of women into higher architectural education in Sweden’s technical institutions, I have tracked and summarized the progress of not just female students and female employees within the architecture industry, but also the extent of the creative space offered for women throughout the years to express their individual styles. This has been with the intention of detecting a female design language that can be read in the Swedish city, starting from Sweden’s earliest female pioneer in the late 1890s. The study relates the female design language to openness and fluidity, and the feminine sense of caring for the social experience taking place within urban spaces. This is naturally not the case for every woman and is just a common pattern detected throughout different architectural eras. Results show a rapid progression of women within statistical numbers of both educational institutions and architecture firms. This number is, however, one dimensional and does not accurately represent positions of power - which appear to be male dominated - and its impact on the Swedish urban city. The modern woman, as it turns out, does not face the struggles of the pioneers. She is, on the other hand, placed within the box of large architecture corporations, and in that way loses her personal touch and sense of style in her professional work.
