The panel discussion features women from different niches within the architecture field. It will be a great opportunity to hear their experiences and insights on the architecture industry.

our project 2 : 8 to 8 : 2 takes a critical lense on what it means to be a woman in architecture.
2: 8 represents the present female to male ratio of registered architects. In this project, Femmes observes and analyzes the reversal of this ratio.
