Architecture & Planning - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
PennDesign Women in Architecture hopes to examine this historically male dominated profession while providing networking and mentorship opportunities to all its members. We want to not only understand what drives women out of the profession, but to offer guidance and support to our peers practicing in the field. PennDesign Women is excited to host our first ever symposium on Women in Architecture in Spring of 2017, in addition to several other networking and social events slated throughout the school year. Our goal is to mobilize a community of designers and thinkers alike, with the purpose of increasing the incidence and visibility of women in architecture. Our hope is to bring awareness to the gender disparity that exists in the profession and empower each other by fostering growth, promoting the success of women architects, and above all, cultivating the next generation of leaders in the industry.
