The publication Women in Architecture documents
the great achievements of women in architecture
and their ever-increasing share in today’s
building activity. »Architecture is no more
a men’s world. This idea that women cannot
think three-dimensionally is ridiculous.« So Zaha
Hadid in 2013. Her death three years later came
much too soon, but she will remain one of the
most important exponents of the architecture
of our time.
The publication is based on the lecture series
»Architecture Today« at Tübingen University
and the female architects who could speak
there. Since 1987, this lecture series has offered
architects from all over the world a forum to
present their work and to explain their theoretical
ideas about architecture. In the two winter
semesters 2016/17 and 2017/18 only women
were invited. Together with the female architects
who have spoken in Tübingen in recent years
and who are also represented in this book, they
provide a very good overview of the special contribution
that women make to today’s architecture.
The question as to whether their contribution
differs in content and form from that of their
male colleagues, or whether it is inferior in quality,
can clearly be answered in the negative. In
view of the achievements shown here, however,
another question arises: Why did it take so long
for women to be able to take up this profession,
in which not few of them are now achieving
much greater success than their male collegues?
The selection of female architects in this publication
is due to the lecture series. There is no
claim to completeness. The presentation of
these architects working today, who are each
represented by a project of their choice, is complemented
by a retrospective of the work of
some extraordinary and pioneering women in
architecture – with contributions by Dirk Boll on
Emilie Winkelmann, Beatriz Colomina on Eileen
Gray, Sol Camacho on Lina Bo Bardi and Patrik
Schumacher on Zaha Hadid.
Ursula Schwitalla studied different subjects
including art history and works as an exhibition
curator and art consultant. As chair of the Tübinger
Kunsthistorische Gesellschaft and lecturer
at Tübingen University’s art-history institute
she is responsible for the »Architecture Today«
lecture series.
