WOMEN IN ARCHITECTURAL PROFESSION.

Prof. Shilpa Ingawale, Assistant Professor. APCOA, Pune. Kazuyo Sejima (1956): An Architect is a professional who transforms building designs into reality, ensuring functionality, safety, and creative vision. Collaborating with engineers, they develop concepts for structures that meet project goals and operational standards, bringing architectural projects to life. Looking from third eye this profession looks like, heavy extrovert site coordination work with client, many consultants, till labour and contractor. One may find this for male oriented, as in the 21st century it remains a male-dominated field. But it seems, Architecture as a profession has attracted women since the late 19th century only. (Ref: Britannica) We find various interesting projects like museums, universities, skyscrapers, City development etc in every corner of the world designed by creative Women Architects. Just for reference we can find quick list of 8 famous Women Architects all around the World, who built—even whole cities—in every corner of the world with special recognition.  The Japanese architect and principal with her partner Ryue Nishizawa of the Tokyo-based firm SANAA rose to fame with her dramatic designs, many for contemporary art museums: 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, Ishikawa, Japan (2004); Glass Museum, Toledo Museum of Art, Toledo, Ohio (2006); New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York City (2007); and the Louvre Lens, an annex to the Paris museum in northern France (2012), to name a few. Sejima, with her partner, has won numerous awards, including the Pritzker Prize in 2010. Ar. Judith Edelman:-(1923-2014) New York City Pioneer of Women in Architecture She designed many notable multi-family affordable housing projects, among other works. She was feminist, social activist, and an architect. A force to be reckoned with, was called “Dragon Lady” by her peers led the first AIA task force on women in 1974 at the American Institute of Architects (AIA) pointing out that only 1.2 percent of architects were women. She made a career of restoring historic buildings and designing affordable housing. In 1990 she and her husband, Harold, received the AIA New York Chapter’s Andrew J. Thomas Pioneer in Housing Award. She became the first woman to be elected to the Board of Directors of New York’s AIA chapter and was a founding member of the Alliance of Women in Architecture in 1972. Edelman was also the inspiration for the 1974 children’s book What Can She Be? An Architect, by Gloria and Esther Goldreich. Jane Drew:-Chandigarh, India This British modernist architect left her mark in her own country as well as in Africa, the Middle East, India, and Sri Lanka. Her most famous project was the development of Chandigarh, the new capital city of Punjab, India, in 1951. She worked alongside Le Corbusier, her husband and partner Maxwell Fry, and Pierre Jeanneret to create a modern city from scratch. She and Fry focused on designing affordable, practical housing. Among her many other accomplishments, she was also instrumental to the establishment of the Institute of Contemporary Art in London, securing its land and designing its interior. Denise Scott Brown :- Architect, planner, urbanist, theorist, writer and educator have had a global influence on architects for nearly fifty years, transforming thinking about architecture and cities. , Scott Brown has an impressive list of accomplishments as an architec  t, theorist, and educator. Often overshadowed by her husband (also her partner), Robert Venturi, Scott Brown made headlines when she was excluded from the Pritzker Prize awarded to Venturi in 1991. Through their writings and building designs, she and her husband were pioneers in the move away from modernist glass-and-steel structures, favoring instead the use of ornament and historical and vernacular references. Her architectural design and planning can be seen on university campuses throughout the United States and her preservation planning in historic districts in Philadelphia; Galveston, Texas; and Miami Beach, Florida. Jeanne Gang:- A true “starchitect,” Gang has steadily risen to the top of her field since her firm opened in 1997. She became a household name with her addition of the Aqua Tower (2010) to the Chicago skyline. She and Studio Gang have won numerous awards and were the subject of a solo exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago in 2012-13. Some of her notable works include the SOS Lavezzorio Community Center (2008), the Nature Boardwalk at the Lincoln Park Zoo (2010), and the WMS Boathouse at Clark Park (2013), all in Chicago. Hayden was the first woman to be accepted to and graduate from (1890) MIT’s prestigious architecture program. Despite her credentials, she had a hard time finding work once she graduated. Her big break came when her design was chosen for the Women’s Building of the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. Unfortunately, she retired from the male-dominated architecture field after enduring unfair treatment throughout the construction of the building and when she saw her remarkable accomplishment torn down after the fair. Imagine what she might have achieved were she living a century later Zaha Hadid :- The most famous architect on the list, Hadid was the first woman to win the Pritzker Prize (2004). Besides that honor, her big personality and bold designs have proven she could hold her own in the still male-dominated field. Her buildings are distinct, incorporating asymmetry, fluidity, and unexpected twists and turns. Some of her award-winning works include the National Center for Contemporary Arts in Rome (2010), Evelyn Grace Academy, London (2011), and the Heydar Aliyev Center, Baku, Azerbaijan (2012). Lina Bo Bardi:- A modernist architect, Bo Bardi did most of her work in her adopted home of Brazil. She was a prolific designer of buildings, jewelry, and furniture. Her 1950s bowl chair remains her best known design. She dedicated her life’s work to creating a truly Brazilian vernacular architecture. The needs and habits of her buildings’ inhabitants were primary to her design ethic. She lived and designed buildings in impoverished regions of Brazil and put her efforts toward the preservation of historic districts there. Her Museum of Art of São Paulo (1968) and Social Service for Commerce Building-Pompéia, São Paulo (built in stages, 1977-86) are icons…

Introduction: Traditional Indian interior design style is exotic, sophisticated, and full of royal and tempting looks. Traditional interior design is a popular style of décor based on 18th- and 19th-century European styles. The architecture of India is rooted in its history, culture, and religion. In ancient India, the contrasting Hindu temple architecture and Indo-Islamic architecture are the best-known historical styles. The architects themselves used to design the interiors of the home. It has referred from Vishwakarma an architect, who is a god in Indian mythology. The history of interior design in India has begun from yesteryears and goes on till today.  India has a rich history and diversity of traditional arts and crafts that continue to shape our country is distinct socio-cultural fabric. India has a vast repository of artisanal skills that have been nurtured from generation to generation. When incorporated within architecture and interior design, they provide an important link to the past and a strong sense of identity. Over the years, experts have been exploring regional narratives, local skills, and materials, experimenting and re-interpreting traditional mores for new, personalized expressions as a result of engagement with skilled artisans. Indian traditional Architecture has always been inquisitive due to its magnanimity and arty creations. Did you know that among the 830 World Heritage Sites listed by UNESCO, 26 belong to Indian soil?India has seen many architectural styles which developed the course of history. Some of inspired modern interior design The idea of Modern interior designing was influenced by the Bauhaus and Le Corbusier and then brought to India. And the subsequent Art Deco movement influenced by regional and exotic motifs also counted as modern. Even neoclassical architecture was still pronounced modern into the 1950s and even the 1960s.In recent times, we have heard the terms India Modern or Indian Modernism used to describe a defined style of home decor. We reached out to leading interior designers and architects to learn about what the design ethos means to them and easy ways to incorporate it into our homes. Though we can’t bring back the palaces of the Mughals or the Rajputs and the intricacies of temple art, Indian Modernism is a way to bridge that divide by introducing small elements and patterns, charm, and grace into the new wave of design. Architectural education has an integral role in modern interiors, which includes a traditional touch. The design of interior spaces is a significant part of the architectural profession. Yet, to what extent does architectural education keep pace with changing demands in rendering topics. This study explores interior design-related courses taught in APCOA architectural programs. To qualify for an entry-level position with an architecture or design firm, interior architects need a B. Arch degree. Interior design does not just stand with a look and beauty. It can also showcase even a studio apartment as a residence that has enough space with the help of proper design and comforting lighting, while a poor interior design makes a larger house that lacks space. Interior designers are experts in creating more spaces, improving space efficiency, improving the functional usage of space, improving the lighting effect, improving the colour effects, improving the textures, patterns, scale, size, etc. They are also experts in selecting fittings & equipment. Hence interior design is much important than it seems. For that architecture, education is a must. When you look at interior design styles throughout history, contemporary interior design is the one style that is evolving. The design style will most likely continue to change over the twenty-first century. Modern refers to anything of the present moment. Traditional to Modern and Transitional, the style of Interior Architecture Design has defined and redefined the way of living and lifestyle. There are three primary ways to recreate Indian Modernism at home. India is well known for its rich and varied culture, heritage, and history, it can see in architectural marvels such as Sun Temple, Taj Mahal and many more. In the present times, the Indian interior design style remains diverse and understandable even after getting influenced by the different dynasties across the country.
