"Shoutout to the women of Nick Animation working in Los Angeles, New York, London, those working remotely, and all of the amazing alumni who have worked with us in the past. We wish we could spotlight each and every one of you! 🧡"

In Los Angeles, “Built By Women” Exhibit Showcases 56 Projects

The Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation is recognizing women-led architecture, landscape, engineering, and construction projects from around the region.

March 31, 2020

In February, the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation (BWAF) announced a selection of 56 women-led architecture, landscape, engineering, and construction projects from the Los Angeles area to be showcased at the annual Built by Women exhibit, currently scheduled to open May 15 at the A+D Museum in Los Angeles.

Since 2016, this yearly juried competition and exhibit has demonstrated the breadth of achievement by women at the building industry’s highest levels in cities across the nation.

This year, over 100 projects were submitted for consideration, ranging from tiny homes to major civic construction complexes. At this year’s exhibit, an air-traffic control tower, aerospace labs, and a coliseum will hang alongside a cathedral, a floating bungalow, low-income housing, and a design for the National Center for the Preservation of Democracy. Locations of the works will also be published on a map of Greater Los Angeles — available at the exhibit and online. (A full list of selected projects follows.)

This year’s all-female jury, curated by the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation, includes: Carrie Byles, FAIA, LEED AP, a partner at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill; Andrea Cochran, FASLA, president of Andrea Cochran Landscape Architecture; ErLeen Hatfield, P.E., AIA, managing partner of the Hatfield Group; Judith Sheine, professor of architecture at the University of Oregon; Deborah Weintraub, AIA, LEED AP, chief deputy engineer for the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Engineering; Claire Weisz, FAIA, founder of WXY architecture + urban design; Kim Yao, AIA, 2020 AIA New York president and principal, Architecture Research Office (ARO); and Joan Blumenfeld, FAIA, FIIDA, LEED AP, and a principal at Perkins&Will.

“Los Angeles has always been a hotbed of American design and this jury demonstrated how women there are leading the way,” says architect and urbanist Claire Weisz. “The Built by Women program helps elevate and honor these important works, and we all hope this initiative helps make the record difficult if not impossible to erase.”

A project of the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation, Built by Women has been created to recognize the significant but often overlooked work of historical and contemporary women architects, landscape architects, urban designers, engineers, contractors and developers. It also matches strong role female models and mentors with current professionals and students to promote paths of advancement, adds Cynthia Phifer Kracauer, AIA, executive director of the foundation.

Following similar successful initiatives in New York City and Washington, DC, this year’s Built by Women exhibit in Los Angeles was scheduled to coincide with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Conference on Architecture, or A’20. (Originally scheduled for May 14-16, the 2020 AIA Conference on Architecture has been postponed.)

Founded in 2002 and based in New York City, the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation is committed to changing the culture of the building industry, for women, through education and research. The national 501(c)3 nonprofit organization commissions and curates research that pertains to women working at all levels within all fields of practice in the building industry, with the mission of advancing the knowledge and recognition of women’s contributions to architecture.
