I recently made an “…an exasperated reply to those who say: ‘there are no women making architecture.’”

Just a little something that conveniently fit inside a standard sized 9×12 manila envelope and it has about 200something pages…

Just over thirteen percent of architects are women, according to the American Institute of Architects.
The exhibition 13.3%… borrows from the conceptual structure of curator Lucy Lippard’s landmark 1973 exhibition of conceptual art, c. 7,500, in which each work on display fit into a standard manila envelope. Lippard’s exhibition contested the belief that there were no women making conceptual art at the time — and she did so by mailing evidence of this work directly to the gallery for display. Nearly forty years later, 13.3%… provides a space and form in which to consider the contributions and visibility of today’s practicing female architects.
