History

Women in Architecture (WIA) UK reformed in 2018 following the production of the documentary, She Draws: She Builds, directed by former WIA Vice-Chair Sarah Akigbogun and produced by former WIA Chair Anna Schabel. The film includes interviews with two former WIA chairs, Sumita Singha and Angela Brady. The film's interest and excitement reinvigorated the WIA mission to improve workplace equity and inclusion for women architects in construction. Coinciding with the worldwide interest in gender equality raised by the #MeToo movement, it seemed like the right time for Women in Architecture UK to re-engage.

Since 2018 WIA has greatly expanded its outreach online and helped promote women architects at events throughout the UK and abroad. We continue to develop our network through an innovative, inclusive programme of activities, including the successful WIA Mentoring Programme.
