THIS TUESDAY AUGUST 8TH | CPF BOOK CLUB | 12PM - 1PM | FREE Join the California Preservation Foundation online this Tuesday, August 8th at 12PM for our next Book Club as we discuss “The Women Who Changed Architecture” with contributors Julie Sinclair Eakin and Lori A. Brown. During this panel discussion we will delve into the past, present, and potential future contributions of women to design projects and the practice of architecture. This book profiles the successes and challenges of 122 women architects, and is the most comprehensive look at women in architecture around the world, from the nineteenth century to today. Curbed Magazine says this book, “… gets to one of the major issues in design: Who ends up getting credit and recognition for their work, and how does that affect the way buildings and cities are designed?” Join us as we discuss why this book is important, go behind the scenes with the contributors, and consider how the women architects in the book have impacted each other and historic preservation.
