Call for Book Chapters /// A New Generation of Women Architects in Latin America

Title: A New Generation of Women Architects in Latin America

 

 

Introduction

This edited volume seeks to document and amplify the contributions of contemporary women architects in Latin America. The aim is to examine work that reflects cultural identity, innovation, and social impact, and to broaden architectural historiography by bringing visibility to voices often overlooked or underrepresented.

What stories have shaped the professional lives, achievements, and challenges of Latin American women architects? This book seeks to help fill a critical gap by highlighting their trajectories, recognizing emerging and established figures, and acknowledging contributions that have yet to receive deserved attention.

We invite submissions that explore the role and influence of women architects in Latin America from the mid-20th century to the present. Proposed chapters may address, but are not limited to, the following themes:

• the legacy and participation in professional fields of women architects

• ideas, works, and cultural identity, including:
