Gender Gap

Gender Gap, curated by Laura Andreini, documents an exhibition of projects and maquettes by 20 international female architects. Created in conjunction with \"The Architect's Table\", a series of events held at the Museo Novecento in Florence in 2021, the architects featured here address the personal challenges they have encountered in the course of their careers in a field where men are still the predominant players, and offer their observations on women in architecture in the 21st century. In separate chapters, the show highlights work by Carmen Andriani, Sandy Attia, Cristina Celestino, Izaskun Chinchilla, Maria Claudia Clemente, Isotta Cortesi, Elizabeth Diller, Lina Ghothmeh, Carla Juaçaba, Fuesanta Nieto, Simona Ottieri, Carme Pigem, Guendalina Salimei, Marella Santangelo, Maria Alessandra Segantini, Benedetta Tagliabue, Monica Tricario, Patricia Viel, Paola Viganò and Laura Andreini, curator of the exhibition and catalogue.
