The new edition of the arcVision Prize – Women and Architecture award, set up by the Italcementi Group to draw attention to women in architecture, was presented in Milan at an event featuring the announcement of a partnership with WE-Women for Expo, an Expo Milano 2015 project intended to construct a worldwide network of women focusing on the theme of sustainability and nutrition, in line with the theme of Expo 2015: Feed the planet: Energy for life.
The arcVision Prize, Women and Architecture offers a snapshot of the presence of women in architecture all over the world today, with the participation of 22 women architects from 17 different countries and an all-women jury including architecture professionals such as Odile Decq (Studio Odile Decq), Yvonne Farrell (Grafton Architects) Louisa Hutton (Sauerbruch Hutton), Benedetta Tagliabue (EMBT Enric Miralles - Benedetta Tagliabue Arquitectes), and Martha Thorne (director of the Pritzker Prize, the “Nobel Prize” of architecture).
