Women Architects and Designers


ID : 2811   

« back to classes page
Often overlooked in traditional design and architecture courses, twentieth-century women designers profoundly shaped how we perceive and experience built environments, interiors, and decorative objects. In this course, we will explore the work and influence of figures such as Elsie de Wolfe, Eileen Gray, Lilly Reich, Charlotte Perriand, Dorothy Draper, Ray Eames, and Zaha Hadid. We will consider their lives and enduring designs within the social and political contexts they faced, and trace the lasting imprints they left on twentieth-century design.
