Take a seat & Architektinnen (female architects)
Take a seat is an atlas of chair seating surfaces—we spend our days sitting, but have you ever thought about what we actually sit on? 64 pages, size: 289×380mm, printed at Newspaper Club UK.
Architektinnen is a book that examines gender ratios in various areas of architecture in Germany (e.g.: members of the chamber of architects, lecturers and employees within the department of architecture at our college and within the TU (technical university) Darmstadt, architecture students, architect graduates 1995/2022, winners of the German Architecture Prize in the past), revealing a clear outcome: architecture is predominantly male-dominated. After centuries of male-centric architectural culture, the question arises: What role do female designers and architects play in this narrative? Over the past 150 years, numerous significant contributions by women have left an indelible mark on public spaces, shaping and influencing the built environment. Many such projects are shown in this book, ranging from iconic landmarks like the Brooklyn Bridge in New York to the masterplan for the Australian capital, Canberra. These projects have become inherent parts of cities we know today. 62 pages, size: 100×210mm.
