29% Equal Podcast
29% Equal is a podcast celebrating significant women who have shaped how we practice architecture today

APL PhD candidate Sarah Ackland has created a new podcast, 29% Equal, to celebrate signifcant women who have shaped how we practice architecture today
Why 29% Equal? The last formal survey undertaken by the ARB (or the Architects Registration Board) was in 2019, this revealed that only 29% of qualified architects are female identifying, women are routinely excluded from the architecture profession, from the books we read and even the references and precedents we study at university.
In an effort to eliminate this continual erasure of women I have invited a young architect, designer, artist or activist from Part W (and friends) to have a discussion with a woman they feel deserves recognition, or perhaps more recognition. We ask these amazing women about their defining moments, their activism, who inspires them, the advice they would give to their younger selves and finally what a more equitable city might look like.This series is in conversation with Part W.
In the first episode, Alice Brownfield, the Co-Director of Part W Collective, architect at Peter Barber Architects and the recipient of the 2021 MJ Long Prize for Excellence in Practice, speaks with the acclaimed Kate Macintosh
