The time in which we are living is starting to introduce women in all professional fields. New flows of opinion wake up with enormous interest
because of their singularity.
The
need of introducing new points of view in the design of architecture
and inhabited places, topic that has been treated with interest in Institutional and
Social fields in all European Countries,
opens an interesting investigation field with lots of possibilities to women
architects, women urban planners and all those that have to do with the world of
construction, a field of investigation with great possibilities.
The
evolution of society at such a vertiginous speed does not go parallel with the
existing models of
spaces where life happens. Great
contradictions appear when the intention is to solve the actual human
necessities.
Women Who Build
forum is born as a tool of investigation and development for new proposals, endorsed by the experience
of architects and professionals of spaces to be built.
It
is set up as an open virtual network, created to develop a new way of
thinking, based in contribution more than in comparation, a
solidary platform, in which architecture is understood as a reason to meet people interested
in working actively in the construction of a new society, the society in which we are living.
