Claiming Space in the Architecture Office

The architecture office, in structure, organization, and culture, is a hostile space for womxn and BIPOC designers. The women in this category have left their stamp on corporate architectural space, regardless of the forces which have worked to erase and push them out of the architectural office. The legacies of these women begin the discussion of architectural design work as a form of labor.
