1ST CYCLE | LATIN AMERICAN CONVERSATIONS: DESIGN PROCESSES
The history of architecture is being rewritten from new perspectives arising from the progressive expansion of research activities in the field, which are, in turn, led by an increasingly diverse body of researchers. One such perspective, already well-established in academia, is the gender and feminist lens—a path that has been revealing the various gaps in "traditional" history, while highlighting the systematic exclusion, marginalization, or appropriation (LIMA, p.21, 2004)¹ of women in the field of architecture across all its areas.
Significant progress has been made in recent years. While we once asked ourselves who the women in architecture were and where they were located, today we can easily find various tools and publications that introduce us to an ever-growing number of architects. Beyond simply acknowledging their existence and location, it is urgent that their work be recognized, their knowledge and ways of knowing be shared, and that they become references for others, thereby occupying the space that is rightfully theirs.
