1970s Breakout Show on Women Architects Revisited in New BWAF Audio Doc ‘New Angle: Voice’

The first significant exhibit and book on women's contributions to American architecture is revisited in the newest episode of the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation (BWAF) documentary series, New Angle: Voice.

This episode of the acclaimed audio documentary series looks at not just one woman, but rather revisits the Brooklyn Museum's 1977 exhibition, "Women in American Architecture,” https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/laying-the-groundwork-women-in-american-architecture/id1589782338?i=1000651890691.

Curated by architect Susana Torre and sponsored by the Architectural League of New York, the exhibition was covered in most national and architectural media and Ada Louise Huxtable wrote a significant review of the show in The New York Times. 

The newest audio episode, ‘Laying the Groundwork: Women in American Architecture, Spring 1977,’ debuts the first program of New Angle: Voice’s third and consclusive season, with following installments expanding on the exploration of women's larger influences in architecture, notably, public housing advocate and city planning educator, Catherine Bauer Wurster (1905-1964).
