Women in Architecture Berlin

The aims of the Women in Architecture Berlin 2021 festival were to make female architects visible, provide them with a platform and a voice, and to showcase their achievements. Institutions, associations, and initiatives in the field of building culture were all encouraged to take part. Seventy years after the death of Emilie Winkelmann, the first successful female German architect, the organizers wanted to consider the current status of women in architecture: Who are the strongest female players in the building sector today? Are they being acknowledged? What is the state of equality in building culture and how does the profession need to be modified? This publication highlights what political, teaching, and commercial institutions, managers and employees, university leaders and professors can doand in some cases have already doneto promote equality on the building site.

n-ails is a network of female architects, interior designers, engineers, landscape architects, and urban planners in Berlin. The network takes an active interest in connecting and strengthening women in the building sector, engages with womens planning networks throughout Germany and Europe, and promotes change in the politics of the discipline.
