Landmarks Illinois director of advocacy Lisa DiChiera and researcher and educator Lucía C. Pérez-Moreno will lecture on Monday, April 25, as part of MAS Context’s Spring Talks 2022 series. The lecture will take place online.
Documenting, Analyzing, and Celebrating Women’s Contributions to the Built Environment in Spain and Illinois
During this event, presenters will discuss two recent initiatives that document, analyze, and celebrate women’s contributions to the built environment in Spain and Illinois. Lucía C. Pérez-Moreno will discuss “Women in Spanish Postmodern Architecture Culture, 1965-2000,” a project that aims to critically analyze the work done by woman architects who practiced architecture in the last third of the twentieth century and to contextualize it in the historiography of Spanish architectural culture. Lisa DiChiera, director of advocacy for Landmarks Illinois, will discuss “Women Who Built Illinois,” a database that includes information on more than 100 female architects, engineers, developers, designers, builders, landscape architects, and interior designers and clients and their projects between 1879 and 1979.
