This unprecedented project shows how incorporating women into the field of architecture would generate new places for thought and attention on the part of professionals, or consolidate and expand those that exist.

Architecture, as a discipline and a profession, is facing several crises, which, as yet, it has by no means successfully overcome. The basic hypothesis of the Cosmowomen project is that fully incorporating women into the professional and academic field of architecture would generate new places for thought and attention on the part of professionals or consolidate and expand those that exist, while also intensifying the relationships between those 'places of thought', producing a kind of constellation.

The exhibition (1/5/2021 - 29/9/2021, Roma, La Galleria Nazionale) incorporates the work of 65 women architects who have taken the master's degree programme at the Bartlett School of Architecture in the past ten years, showing a total of 71 projects and including 283 images. The architects are of more than 20 different nationalities and have been tutored by 22 tutors, 50% of them women, who also come from a wide variety of backgrounds in cultural terms and professional experience.

This exhibition catalogue includes texts by 20 women architects or professionals in related fields, all with outstanding academic records.
