Women in Architecture I
A better built environment is also an inclusive one. That's why diversity is key to our profession, as it expands our views of the world and connects us with the real
needs of society. So we opened a window into the professional and personal lives of three women in architecture who bring something unique to the world, to inspire
others.
"To make our world a better place. Everyone should have an idea of how architecture works and what it can have an impact on. We live in the era where humans are
changing the planet, architecture is one of the most important tools", stated film-maker Boris Noir about the idea behind the film.
We reached out to Toshiko Mori, Gabriela Carrillo and Johanna Meyer-Grohbrügge, three architects in three different countries, in different contexts, at different
stages of their life and career, but with a lot in common: recognized practitioners, with a passion for education, working with communities, and a sensibility towards
the needs of society and the built environment.
From the intense streets of New York to the cultural richness of Mexico City, to the dynamism of Berlin, we also had the chance to visit their projects and share with
the clients and users, witnessing the impact of their work. We want to strengthen the position of the young generation of architects as well as evoke more empathy for
this issue – in the industry and beyond. The film is designed to encourage people to question their way of thinking.
Success in any career should be a reflection of talent and determination alone and never be dependent on gender. These portraits of successful women in the world
of architecture are living proof of this, the aim being to inspire people across all disciplines to reach for the stars.
