Reed Kroloff has a noteworthy piece in the New York Times talking about how [architecture is no longer just a ‘gentleman’s profession’](https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/14/arts/design/women-in-architecture.html). Though less than a third of AIA (American Institute of Architects) members are females, “offices led or owned by women are creating an ever-wider range of public buildings that address architecture and urbanism in new and invigorating ways”, says Kroloff.

I am thrilled, but not surprised, to see Jeanne Gang of [Studio Gang](http://studiogang.com/) on the list (pictured above). Her firm is the design architect behind [our One Delisle proposal](http://brandondonnelly.com/post/175626637843/more-on-one-delisle-and-the-block). And I was also happy to see Magui Peredo of [Estudio Macias Peredo](https://emparquitectos.com/) on the list. She is based in Guadalajara and, if you aren’t familiar with her work, I recommend you check it out. I love the materiality of it.
