Women in Architecture - New Web Database
Architecture and emancipation in the Czech Republic after 1945
We are pleased to announce the newly launched database and website Women in Architecture: Architecture and Emancipation in the Czech Republic After 1945.
Until now, only a handful of Czech female architects have been well known to the general public. The topic is relatively under-researched, and a broader overview of the biographies of female architects and their work is still lacking. The new online research catalog now presents half of the planned approximately 100 biographies of women working in the field of domestic architecture, along with lists of their works, including an image gallery of projects. Among the featured creators, you will find Alena Šrámková, Eva Jiřičná, Zdenka Nováková, Růžena Žertová, Vítězslava Rothbauerová, Daniela Fenclová, Marii Davidovou, Jaromíra Šimoníková, and many others. The first 5 podcast interviews with female architects are ready for listening, and more will be added.
The database and website were created as part of research focused on mapping and interpreting the work of women in architecture in the context of socio-political changes in the Czech Republic. The research emphasized interdisciplinary connections and topics such as the practice of the architectural profession or the synthesis of professional and personal life. The project represents women across the spectrum of their activities, such as architect-designers, theorists, historians, designers, as well as officials and mediators. In addition to the database, another key output of the research will be the monograph Women in Architecture, which is scheduled for publication in spring 2024.
The project is led by a research team consisting of Helena Huber-Doudová (principal investigator for NGP), Klára Brůhová (principal investigator for UMPRUM), Petra Hlaváčková, Šárka Malošíková, Nikola Zahrádková, and Barbora Řepková.
The project was supported by the Czech Science Foundation (project no. GA 21-22749S) and was created in cooperation with the National Gallery in Prague (NGP) and the Prague College of Applied Arts (UMPRUM).
