Part W invites architects to create alternative all-female Royal Gold Medal winners list
Women's action group Part W is crowdsourcing suggestions of worthy women to create an all-female alternative to the predominately male RIBA Royal Gold Medal winners list.
Coinciding with this year's medal being presented to Nicolas Grimshaw, Part W has launched the campaign to highlight the fact that there has only been one woman as sole winner of the RIBA Royal Gold Medal in its 171-year history.
The collective, which was founded by Zoë Berman of London-based Studio Berman, is asking people to suggest women that they think would be worthy winners of the Gold Medal.
"Playful way to draw attention to important issue"
"From today we're inviting people from across the industry and those working in engineering, urban design, planning and education to nominate ideas for people whom they'd like to see celebrated on an alternative list that would award women ? back to 1848 ? who have made a significant contribution to the built environment," Berman told Dezeen. "It's meant to be a tongue-and-cheek, playful, way to draw attention to what is an important and serious discussion."
Over 170yrs only 1 woman awarded #RoyalGoldMedal in own right. Part W are inviting across disciplines, men and women, to nominate women who's work in the built environment deserves to be known. Nominate to the alternative list here #WeArePartW #AlternativeRoyalMedal #NominateHer
