1x1

​

The ongoing 1x1 initiative by the IAWA Center aims to collect one original work made by every woman in architecture and design around the world. Women are invited to donate 1 original flat-work, accompanied by a CV and a handwritten paragraph describing how this piece sparked a breakthrough in their education or practice. The work will become part of the 1x1 Collection to be preserved in the IAWA at Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia. The IAWA Center invites women to participate and to encourage other women in their global network to contribute to this collection as well. Men in architecture and design are invited to join this initiative by sharing the call with
women in their architecture and design network.

 

Original (not copies of) flat work may include: a sketch, a drawing, a diagram, a collage, a print, a screen print, a photograph, an outline or synopsis of written work, an academic project prompt, among others. There are no size restrictions. The only requirement for the chosen artifact is that it has prompted a relevant breakthrough, highlighting a revelatory moment.
