Refreshments provided by Dark Horse Espresso.Book DescriptionWomen Changing Architecture highlights the pivotal role women have played in transforming contemporary architecture in Canada. Through the works and careers of thirty-two architects from Quebec and Ontario, this publication showcases engaged practices that, for over four decades, have helped redefine the discipline, its values, and its modes of action.This publication stems from an exhibition originally presented at TMU (Toronto Metropolitan University) in the fall of 2024, and UQAM Design Centre in the spring of 2025. Titled Women Changing Architecture, it brings together the work of sixteen women from Ontario and sixteen from Quebec.Far from being a mere generational overview, this publication reflects the diversity of approaches, scales, and issues addressed by these architects. Whether institutional, cultural, residential, or urban projects, their work explores the relationships between architecture, society, and the built environment, and responds with rigor and inventiveness to contemporary environmental, social, and cultural challenges. By highlighting these individual and collective trajectories, Women Changing Architecture invites us to recognize the fundamental contribution of women to the recent history of architecture and to reflect on the future of a discipline in constant transformation, shaped by practices that are attentive, critical, and deeply rooted in their environment.Coauthors: Louise Pelletier, with Lisa Landrum, Jennifer Esposito and Jonathan TourangeauGraphic Design: Stéphane Huot https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/7f8d0f30-75b4-11f1-a87c-552e322304e6-rimg-w1099-h740-dceaeceb-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/7fd14420-75b4-11f1-a6ed-5146a8713f7b-rimg-w1101-h740-dce9ebea-gmir.jpg LIST OF ARCHITECTS AND THEIR FIRMSFEATURED IN THE EXHIBITION AND PUBLICATIONFarida Abu-Bakare, Global Practice, WXYManon Asselin, Atelier TAGShirley Blumberg, KPMB ArchitectsTania Bortolotto, BORTOLOTTOSydney Browne, Diamond Schmitt ArchitectsAnne Carrier, Anne Carrier architectureAnne Cormier, Atelier Big CityAnne Côté, Lafond Côté ArchitectesMarie-Chantal Croft, ÉcobâtimentRenée Daoust, Daoust Lestage Lizotte Stecker BenechAna-Francisca De La Mora, ArcadisHeather Dubbeldam, Dubbeldam Architecture + DesignSonia Gagné, Provencher_RoySylvie Girard, Archi-Valerie Gow, Gow HastingsMeg Graham, SuperkülPat Hanson, gh3Lilia Koleva, NEUF architect(e)sAnnie Lebel, in situ atelier d’architectureJanna Levitt, LGAAnne-Marie Matteau, Lupien MatteauMarianne Mckenna, KPMB ArchitectsCatherine Milanese, Maîtrise d’œuvre ArchitectureLucie Paquet, Atelier Lucie Paquet ArchitecteKim Pariseau, APPAREIL ArchitecturePina Petricone, Giannone Petricone AssociatesCarol Phillips, Moriyama Teshima ArchitectsBrigitte Shim, Shim-Sutcliffe ArchitectsAnik Shooner, Menkès Shooner Dagenais LeTourneux ArchitectesEladia Smoke, Smoke ArchitectureMegan Torza, DTAHBetsy Williamson, Williamson Williamson https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/80163c60-75b4-11f1-a6ed-5146a8713f7b-rimg-w1086-h740-dceaeceb-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/804e6360-75b4-11f1-b452-0f2e0e513fce-rimg-w1087-h740-dce9ebea-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/toronto/book-launch-women-changing-architecture/100001990652823181 - **Event Categories**: exhibitions, womens-history-month - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: Swipe Design books + objects - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Toronto - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: Swipe Design books + objects - **lat**: 43.64807809999999 - **long**: -79.39427909999999 - **full address**: Swipe Design books + objects, 401 Richmond Street West, Toronto, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Book Launch: Women Changing Architecture - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/58c9ac4179d184938205c7603cf71c5d4b7000d918f3b7f88c78c572132cb029-rimg-w1200-h675-dcd2d2d2-gmir.jpg?v=1781072413 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Book Launch: Women Changing Architecture being held? - **A:** Book Launch: Women Changing Architecture takes place on Thu, 16 Jul, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Thu, 16 Jul, 2026 at 07:30 pm at Swipe Design books + objects, 401 Richmond Street West, Toronto, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing Book Launch: Women Changing Architecture? - **A:** Book Launch: Women Changing Architecture is organized by Swipe Design. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
