Ode from Studio L A to Jakoba Mulder
As I sat at my desk I took a good look around. thick hardcovers about male architects filled the bookshelves, but where are all the women? - Laurence Ostyn, Women in Architecture
Not only within the art world but also within architecture, there is a great lack of documentation and opportunities for women designers. The thematic exhibition spaces we designed are each an ode to a female designer/architect who is or has been significant for the city of Amsterdam. For each theme and space, we chose a form of spatial intervention appropriate to the theme of the room.
