Women on Construction Sites: Our Community Shares their Thoughts, Concerns, and Outlook for the Future

Site work has always been and remains a pivotal stage in forming our built environment. Most architects, designers or engineers have at one point or another been on the grounds and understand the importance of presence within the project development phases. Working on construction sites can be a valuable learning experience and allows different inputs from diverse experts to be considered in forming a better urban, living, and working environment for all. Starting from this idea, and as we delve into Women in Architecture as part of our ArchDaily topics, we published an invitation, encouraging our readers to share their opinion on gender-based discrimination on the construction site.

What's the Difference Between Carpentry and Joinery?

Wood is one of the most versatile materials used in construction nowadays and can be used for many different purposes, from beginning to end of the building process.
