The Equal Architect symposium hosted by Missing in Architecture and the Mackintosh School of Architecture and in collaboration with Creative Scotland, Architecture and Design Scotland, GSA Sustainability Group and Glasgow Institute of Architects, GIA, aims to enhance awareness and understanding of the significance of female architects within the education system and the profession and to provoke discussions to create a more equal environment for all whilst celebrating the work of past, present and future generations of architects.
The symposium was launched by Patty Hopkins on Thursday 7th March 2019 at 5.30pm and closed on 8th March by key note speaker – Sarah Wigglesworth.
