Eight works by women to visit during Open House New York
The Open House New York event is spotlighting architecture and landscape projects across the city that are designed by women, and will be available to tour this weekend.
The Works by Women initiative celebrates the contributions that female architects and designers have made to New York's urban fabric.
Open House New York (OHNY) has highlighted several projects among its list of sites to visit from 12 to 14 October 2018 for which a woman was one of the principal designers. In the majority of cases, these principals will lead the guided tours of the locations over the weekend.
"From libraries and high-rise residential buildings to parks and public spaces, the nearly two-dozen projects featured in Works by Women help make visible the diversity in scale, type, and programme of the buildings and public spaces that women are designing throughout New York," said a statement from OHNY. The move to promote women in the industry follows a wider push for gender equality in architecture and design.
In New York particularly, a variety of exhibitions featuring only female designers opened after president Donald Trump's inauguration, and architect Beverly Willis releases a film titled Unknown New York: The City that Women Built earlier this year.
Here are eight examples of projects designed by women to check out during OHNY:
