Emerging Architects, Gender and Social Values

There are more women graduating in architecture than men in the Nordic region, a development that is making an impact within the profession. Among other things, the majority of proposals in the “Emerging Architecture Awards” have been designed by female architects in recent years. How does the shift in gender balance affect the profession, and how can one create a dynamic between the older and younger generation of architects?

The new editor of The Architectural Review, Manon Mollard, reflects on architects’ self-image and changes within the profession and how it will affect the future of city planning.

Architecture Track 4 is primarily aimed at architects themselves.

Annelie Holm

Associate Director, CallisonRTKL – Amsterdam

Based in Amsterdam since 2015, Annelie is working via the virtual office space called skype and facetime with the retail design CallisonRTKL team in London. Since many of our projects are on tight schedules and require on-site meetings, the travel hub of Amsterdam has proven greatly beneficial to our team – the city being well connected by train and flights with the major cities in Europe. Annelie is an Architect with a Masters in Architecture degree (Arkitektexamen) from Chalmers (2005) and has since then been working in London until her move to Amsterdam a few years ago. Her experience in retail architecture spans across historically listed refurbishments to new-built quasi-brutalist buildings to small pop-ups and her way of working is quick and direct - her leadership style is to be compassionately brutally honest.
