The Women Architects of Iran

The Women Architects of Iran

This publication counters the omission from history of women practicing architecture in Iran. As there is an observable lack of role models among female architecture students is observable and profoundly damaging, Khaghani and Rasooli calls for a reexamination of the roles of women professionals and practitioners. “The scope of this study is limited between two crucial backgrounds relating to women architects in Iran: establishing of Faculty of Fine Arts in University of Tehran (1940) as the first phase women starting to enter the architectural education to the holding of the International Congress of Women Architects (1976), when it can be said that women in Iran had the first opportunity to gather together and present their practices.”
