The Association for Women in Architecture was founded almost 100 years ago for the purpose of advancing and supporting women in their careers in an exceedingly male dominated industry. Clearly, a lot has changed since our organization was formed. But even today, statistics continue to show that a deficit exists between male and female career advancement, pay and leadership within the field of Architecture and its allied industries.

Join our distinguished panel of architects, designers, educators, journalists and activists for a discussion on gender–how it affects our lives and how the work we do can transcend. Topics will range from the practical to the philosophical and intangible. Opportunities, pay and promotions, creativity, goals, status, visibility — all are questioned in the symposium on DOES GENDER MATTER?

Featuring a panel conversation with:
