WELCOME

Everybody: Non-architects and Architects! This database is not only for architectural students and workers, or planners, politicians and developers, or scholars of women’s studies, but for all of us together and individually to become aware and focused on how buildings, infrastructure, and landscapes must fit into our lives differently, with dramatically less impact on our planet Earth… and with deliberate observable justice in our processes. 

VISION

A bold active level of feminist practice in architecture and society

STRATEGY

To encourage reading, reflection, innovation, discourse, and action toward the vision
