We collaborated with the Andalusia Institute for Women in the design of the Spanish part of the International Exhibition CONSTRUIRE EN PARIDAD. This exhibition was part 

of the Global Project CONSTRUYENDO FUTURO, EQUAL PROJECT financed by the European Community (Social European Fund). The other partners were the Italian group QUASCO 

and French group ARVHA.  

                                              EXHIBITION HALLS (WE invitE YOU TO VISIT THEM)

The objectives of the Exhibition "CONSTRUIRE EN PARIDAD" was: to sensitize society and  women, so both understand that in the construction of cities and inhabited 

spaces the need for womens´ knowledge and womens´ active incorporation is essential in the transformation of a society in crisis. It was carried out 

in the following manner:

Showing how the spaces built by women are (WOMEN designers and WOMEN constructors).

Showing liberal proffessions asociated with the building world where women now take part. (As architects, bricklayers, plumbers, electricians,...) as an incentive 

to fully incorporate women in these professions.

Showing the real “not written”history of women and construction within the limits of Europe.

A proposal of 3 emotional journeys corresponding with 3 different itineraries inside the global exhibition space:

The pioneers women architects

Woman archaeologist. Arkaion. Granada

Reales Atarazanas restoration. Sevilla.
Architect Julia Moreno

A Journey through MEMORY: Women Pioneers (5 panels)
This journey talks to us about women genealogy within the European construction area. It also describes to us  the history "never written" in ordinary books (the presence of absence), about  these women’s dreams.  Women who started from nothing, participating in vanguard movements and in a new way of understanding life, through their writings, their drawings, their built spaces, their fortress, their boldness and their generosity.

a journey through women´s work: Women constructors (5 panels)  

Divided in four fundamental elements as well as one implied element:

- air: Women who build in the air.
- EARTH: Women who build in touch with earth.
- fire: Women who build so the fire burns.
- water: Women who build so the water flows.
- The fifth element:  womenS CONTRIBUTION. 

A journey through INhabitated spaces: designed with "gender perspective" (5 panels)

Divided in ONE EXPLICATIVE PANNEL and four others with pictures and project descriptions of spaces built by women architects, and another traditional or actual spaces in architecture.
What are spaces built with "gender perspective"? a recipe for "gender mainstreaming":
FLEXIBILITY / MOBILITY / SECURITY / EQUALITY

Walking through these journeys, that in many different ways can be visited, with different rhythms and interests, immersed in a topological space, created by textile tulle hanging by the ceiling. So like in a ritual, we experiment unreal or magical sensations, a sensation of being in a forest.

Construire en paridad together with ITACA EXHIBITIONS were shown in Andalusia (Spain) from November 2003,  to May 2004. The exhibition was then relocated to France and Italy.
