Over the course of this semester, we have considered why architecture remains among the most male-dominated of all the professions. Moreover, when women have been able to work as architects, their production has often been overlooked or ignored. This assignment will give students the opportunity to participate directly in the documentation of women’s contributions to the built environment.

Your second paper will consist of two parts. First, you will research the work of a specific woman architect, to be selected from the lists of female architects given here:

You will work to find five additional sources for the architect you chose, to be incorporated into their Wikipedia page. Like architecture, editing Wikipedia is a male-dominated field. This assignment also addresses imbalance by having you learn to edit Wikipedia and add your sources to the article’s reference list.

You will also write a 2000-word essay that will discuss your chosen architect’s more in-depth, and incorporate one of the themes that we have addressed in class.
