The City in Theory – Her Agency

This seminar follows the work and life of a series of «female professionals» (architects, politicians, urban designers, journalists, editors, curators, philanthropists, etc.) in the post-war era who started to critically engage in discussions on urban design and actively contribute to the design of cities. By fully acknowledging the contributions of these female protagonists as both an inspiration source and as designers, this seminar sets out to make a correction to the existing, male-dominated histories and theories of urban design.
