5 Latina Architects You Need To Learn About

A selection of women who push the architecture field every day with their work.

The legacy of female architects is a complex and multifaceted one that reflects the broader history of women’s participation in professional fields. For much of the 20th century, architecture was a male-dominated field, with few opportunities for women to succeed or gain recognition. However, despite these barriers, many women have made significant contributions to architecture, both as designers and as advocates for equality within the profession.

Female Architects have been instrumental in pushing the boundaries of what is possible in terms of sustainable design, urban planning, and community engagement. They have been known for their role as trailblazers and advocates for greater diversity and inclusion. They have fought against gender discrimination and bias, working to create a more equitable and inclusive workplace for all. Through their activism and advocacy, these architects have helped pave the way for future generations of women in the field.

While there are amazing female Architects all over the world, today I’d like to take celebrate some amazing Architects in Latin America. These trailblazers often fly under the radar or are only celebrated and scrutinized in academic circles.
