‘Architects – all architects – should listen to as many people who are not like them as possible’ writes Marsha Ramroop in this issue's keynote essay. We must find the voices of those who have been systemically undervalued so that we can build a more equitable profession. This issue brings together the winners and nominees of the W Awards, celebrating exemplary work by women and non-binary people around the world. We explore the expansive bodies of work of the founder of the CCA and winner of the Ada Louise Huxtable Prize for Contribution to Architecture, Phyllis Lambert, and co-founder of SANAA and winner of the Jane Drew Prize for Architecture, Kazuyo Sejima. And in its inaugural year, the Prize for Research in Gender and Architecture is awarded to Part W for their mapping project, Women’s Work.
This issue also includes the work of the architects shortlisted for the Moira Gemmill Prize for Emerging Architecture – recognising emerging talent in architects under the age of 45 from around the world – and the MJ Long Prize for Excellence in Practice, which celebrates architects who are working in UK‑based practices, with a focus on their role in the design and delivery of a recently completed project.
Following a tradition started in 2019, the winners will receive a trophy made by the previous year’s Ada Louise Huxtable Prize winner. A grid‑like drawing by Mona Hatoum, the 2022 recipient, has been UV‑printed onto pieces of glass which are mounted onto wooden cubes, in a nod to Lina Bo Bardi’s glass and concrete easels, used for displaying artworks in her iconic museum of art in São Paulo, the MASP.
Join us on Friday 3 March for the W Lunch at the Battersea Arts Centre in London, where the winners of the MJ Long and Moira Gemmill Prizes will be announced and we will hear from Kazuyo Sejima, Phyllis Lambert and members of Part W first‑hand.
