#49 - Women in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction History with the She Builds Podcast

She Builds Podcast is a show featuring the seldom told stories of
women who build; women whose worth is not taught in architecture
school, but who have shaped the industries of architecture,
construction, and development throughout history. The podcast was
started by Jessica Rogers, Lizi Raar and Norgerie Rivas, three
friends who, after graduating from Syracuse University School of
Architecture together, wanted to fill in the gaps in their
education and share those with others. Episodes have featured
Norma Merrick Sklarek, Julia Morgan, Jane Drew, Eileen Gray, Zaha
Hadid, and many more! 


In this episode, Jessica, Lizi, and Norgerie share the origin
story of She Builds, their process for researching and putting
together the show, and the most interesting things they’ve
learned about the women they’ve featured. We also talk about the
importance of seeing others like yourself in the profession, and
how architecture history curricula are still stuck in their old
male-dominated Eurocentric ways, but that this might slowly be
changing.
