A dialogue to bring the role of women in contemporary architectural culture back to the forefront.

The volume that inspired the meeting explores the role of women in Italian architecture, design and urban planning. Through essays selected by a multidisciplinary scientific committee, over one hundred female design professionals working in Italy and abroad are highlighted: a collaborative work that restores visibility to individual and collective journeys through the multiple roles assumed by women in design culture, which have long remained on the margins of disciplinary narratives but are often central to the construction of contemporary architectural culture.
