Work / life / architecture

In 2012–2013 Gill Matthewson interviewed over 70 Australian architects as part of her PhD. The aim was to better understand the impacts of gender on architectural careers. Her findings revealed how taken-for-granted structural and cultural conditions and interactions permit and reproduce gender inequity in career advancement in architecture.

Over a decade later, Alison McFadyen is now re-interviewing these same people, as part of her own PhD. What has come of people’s hopes, ambitions and frustrations? How have their careers developed? Where have they found support, and what impediments have they faced? And what does all of this suggest about the forces that shape careers?

This is the only longitudinal study investigating architectural careers anywhere in the world! It is early days for Alison’s work, and we are VERY LUCKY to have a preliminary glimpse of this very important work!
