Cosmowomen

Architecture, both as a field of study and as a working profession, has been struggling with a run of overlapping crises that it has not yet resolved. Cosmowomen starts from the idea that bringing women fully into architectural practice and academia would open up new spaces for reflection and attention among professionals, or strengthen the ones already there. It also proposes that linking these spaces together would form a kind of constellation of ideas.

The project centres on 65 women architects who completed the master's programme at the Bartlett School of Architecture over the previous decade. Their work is presented through 71 projects and 283 images. The architects come from more than 20 countries. They were supervised by 22 tutors, half of them women, who likewise bring varied cultural backgrounds and professional experience.

The exhibition was held at La Galleria Nazionale in Rome, Italy, from 21 June to 10 October 2021.
