A multiplatform project about the history of women’s contributions to American architecture.

Pioneering Women of American Architecture, a website, and New Angle: Voice, a podcast, both strive to bring the latest scholarship about women’s contributions to 20th century American architecture to a wider public via free, searchable, footnoted, and multi-platform exploration of the lives, work and professional connections of a diverse set of woman architects and designers. The central theme of both series of biographical essays is “women played important roles in the creation, development and popularization of 20th century American architecture.” Both the website and the podcast are influenced by recent turns, in architecture education and scholarship, toward the history of collaboration, toward the study of vernacular building types, and toward intersectional analysis of the way racism and sexism have affected both the opportunities to create and the interpretations of buildings and landscapes.
