On the eve of the announcement for the RIBA Stirling Prize for Architecture 2019, Woman's Hour on BBC Radio 4 featured a live discussion about Women and Architecture. Zoë Berman joined in this discussion with Annalie Riches, co-director of Mikhail Riches architects.
Zoë and Annalie discussed with presenter Jane Garvey their respective work in architecture, talking about social housing, designing for families and the importance of equitable place making.
The invitation to talk followed a campaign spearheaded by Part W, a gender equity action group that Zoë established with a core collective of fellow professionals. Part W's first public campaign challenged the fact that the RIBA Royal Gold Medal had, since 1848, been granted to just 1 woman in her own right. The campaign drew attention to and celebrated the work of female designers through history. More information about the campaign can be founded in the following Dezeen article.
