In this collaboration between PAF (platform for architecture & feminism) (Belgium), and architektur kollektiv (Germany), we invite women in architecture to reflect on their role and profession, to share their wisdom and/or questions and doubts with a younger generation of architects. Leading up to International Women’s Day these role models from Germany, Belgium, and The Netherlands share their letters with us in an online event on March 6th, 19:00. Please join us!
When studying architecture and entering the profession, one may feel overwhelmed by impressions, thoughts, and structural imbalances. With this project, we want to create a bond, a „we-feeling“ and an exchange between people, especially women*, and generations, in the architecture industry. „Letters to a Young Architect“ is meant to be a place to come back to whenever you need motivation, advice, and new trains of thought.
