ARQUITETAS INVISÍVEIS MAGAZINE ISSUE No.2
We are delighted to announce that the collective Arquitetas Invisíveis invites researchers, students and artists interested in thinking the relations inbetween architecture - in its various scales - and gender matters - from several fields of knowledge -, to participate in the call for entries for the No.2 issue of the Arquitetas Invisíveis Magazine.
The collective Arquitetas Invisíveis, which is responsible for the issue of the magazine, is also going to feed its platform - - with entries from this call that it finds appropriate to host online. The magazine and website were born from the desire to share knowledge and thoughts, as well as contribute to the progress of gender discussions in the field of architecture and other related fields. It is a way to give opportunity for the dissemination of work that address gender issues in architecture, but also welcoming work from other fields, being open to host work from areas such as history, geography, sociology, anthropology, arts , psychology, among others.
Each year a new issue of the Arquitetas Invisíveis Magazine will offer important opportunities for exchanges between researchers from Brazil and abroad, that is why the magazine is bilingual. By creating these relationships, the Magazine contributes to the trades between different groups and regions, and also foment joint research and collective publications, supporting not only the role of women in the history of architecture and urbanism, but also study groups focused on this matters.
GENERAL THEME
By the studies carried out by the collective Arquitetas Invisíveis, eight broad themes were defined, and each magazine issue will focus in one of them. They are: the pioneers, in the shadows, architecture, urban planning, landscape design, sustainability, social work/participatory projects and the eighth edition (with no defined name), will bring the previous issues to a closure point, but also will open a renewed cycle of themes and discussions, pointing to advance in the discussed matters. The second issue of the magazine, which will bring the theme "In the Shadows", will highlight works that bring contributions and thinking on women who have had their production shadowed by acting in partnership with men.
Unfortunately, several high quality women architects suffered the negative consequences of misogynist social structure in which they were inserted. Even acting substantially and brilliantly, they are rarely recognized for the merits of their achievements, often awarded to an architect, because he was man. Some of them had their work left to the background, due to the rise of his co-workers, as Aino Aalto, Eileen Gray, Ray Eames and Charlotte Perriad. Others suffered with the consequences of political overturn, as Lilly Reich. Another example is Marion Mahony Griffin, and her (not recognized) collaboration with Frank Lloyd Wright. She was a great drawer and designer of the Prairie style, and also worked in the design for the city of Canberra in Australia. Among them, however, the best known case is that of Denise Scott Brown, whose merits were ostensibly ignored while her husband received the Pritzker Prize alone for a trajectory that was notoriously collaborative.
The proposed themes aim to get together various types of studies, and also create and identify the possibility of interlocution between them, continuing the purposes that motivated the creation of the magazine. However, the editorial board will also select works that do not fit the central theme, as long as they relate to gender matters or to female production, and that they are considered relevant to the debate.
2. TYPES OF WORK ACCEPTED
The magazine will consist of articles, abstracts, reviews, news, cartoons, drawings, poetry, essays, letters, among others.
