Through a forest of postcards next to an oversized bookshelf and historical prints, books, and objects, this exhibition showcases the results of a 5-year research project, funded by the European Research Council at ETH Zurich. Women Writing Architecture 1700-1900 (short WoWA) explores how female authors in the 18th and 19th centuries have contributed to architecture through writing.

Curated by Anne Hultzsch in collaboration with Elena Rieger and Sol Pérez Martínez. Graphic design, research, and exhibition installation by Rémi Madrona and Audrey Man. This exhibition is part of a project that has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (Grant agreement No. 949525).
