This was the first all-women architects international lecture series ever at the Architectural Association, organized by Francesca Hughes as part of eponymous book production, with lectures by Diana Agrest, Jennifer Bloomer, Beatriz Colomina, Elizabeth Diller, Catherine Ingraham, Françoise Hélène Jourda, Martine de Maeseneer, Nasrine Seraji. Poster description: "In March the AA is holding an international series of lectures, entitled 'Reconstructing her Practice', in which eight leading women architects will address the ways in which the introduction of women into the main body of architectural practice might change the existing architectural order." Hughes was invited to convene the series at the AA by Mark Cousins, director of History and Theory, in advance of the publication her book, The Architect: Reconstructing Her Practice which came out with MIT Press the following spring, 1994. The book "examines how the introduction of women to the main body of architecture might bring about a reconstruction of the orders that pervade architectural production and consumption. In a collection of autobiographical essays in which practice is both the site and the vehicle for change, twelve American and European architects reflect on the nature of critical practice and its relation to architecture. The contributors were chosen not only for the distinguished quality of their work, but also for the range of architectural practices they collectively encompass. Together, they present a compelling and provocative critique of architectural culture. All show a willingness to transgress the various mediums and territories of architecture, to recover and reopen certain discussions lost in the architectural discourse they have inherited."
