RebelArchitette, founded by Italian Architect Francesca Perani, has developed an online tool that aims to detox architecture from inequalities. The interactive public world map of women-led architecture practices can be used as a guide to women architects and their practices around the world. Following the RebelArchitette e-book, Architette=Women Architects, that profiled 365 female architects, the map propels forward their mission to make female architects around the world more visible – and their exclusion less defensible.

We need to give a better future to younger generations of students and discourage male-dominated literature and conferences resulting in a single-gender role model reference. We are pushing to have a social and cultural impact through a powerful, collaborative approach, which we are already experiencing with incredible international associations.
— Elena Fabrizi RebelArchitette Co-curator

HR Design Department’s Heather Rowell is honored to be included on the map and named a RebelArchitette! The ever expanding resource is made possible through an international network of partners and advisors. Houston architect, author, and professor, Donna Kacmar, FAIA, is one of three RebelAdvisors from the United States. In addition to the map, the RebelArchitette Resource page lists communities around the world working towards equality in the building and design fields (including Houston’s dynamic Women in Architecture committee).
