French architect Odile Decq has been named as the recipient of the Jane Drew prize for raising the profile of women within architecture, as a survey finds large numbers of female architects reporting sexual discrimination or harassment.
Decq, 60, will receive the Jane Drew prize as part of the Women in Architecture awards (WIA), an annual programme that seeks to recognise the contribution of female architects.
The awards are supported by the Architectural Review magazine (AR) in the UK, which has also published the results of the WIA's fifth annual survey of women in the profession. The report found that one in five women would not encourage another woman to start a career in architecture.

Of the 1,152 women surveyed worldwide, 72 per cent said they has experienced sexual discrimination, harassment or bullying within architecture ? up from 60 per cent in 2015 ? and 12 per cent said that they experienced discrimination monthly or more often. Over 80 per cent of the female respondents also felt that having a child was a significant disadvantage for a woman pursuing a career in architecture.

Decq, who attracted international attention during the 1990s with projects including the Banque Populaire de l'Ouest in Rennes, told the AR that she was "still at war".
