Architecture + Women NZ

The organisation promotes diversity, inclusion and equity in architecture through events, membership, advocacy and publication.

[2] Simmons and Wilson were motivated by the large number of women leaving the architecture profession in New Zealand.

[3] Their core aims are visibility for members and to increase inclusiveness in the architectural profession by highlighting and addressing barriers.

[5] Between Silos was written by Marianne Calvelo, with design by Joy Roxas and curated by Lynda Simmons.

Drawings archived include work by Lusitania Vete, Matthew Boyuan Cao, Devyani Sethi, Jonathan Morrish and Mikaela King.
