As we have said, The Contribution of Women in Contemporary Architecture: The British Example will be held on February 4. During the evening, the architects will illustrate the works that they have recently completed in the United Kingdom. It will be an opportunity to present their approach and their design philosophy in contemporary architecture as to environmental sustainability, the social sphere, technological innovation, building redevelopment, the relationship with the historical, cultural and urban context in which we live.
