[.en] A ground-breaking visual survey of architecture designed by women from the early twentieth century to the present day. 'Would they still call me a diva if I were a man?' asked Zaha Hadid, challenging as she did so more than a century of stereotypes about female architects. In the same spirited approach, ‘Breaking Ground’ is a pioneering visual manifesto of more than 200 incredible buildings designed by women all over the world. Featuring twentieth-century icons such as Julia Morgan, Eileen Gray and Lina Bo Bardi, and the best contemporary talent, from Kazuyo Sejima to Elizabeth Diller and Grafton Architects, this book is, above all else, a ground-breaking celebration of extraordinary architecture.

Includes leading pioneers such as: Julia Morgan, the first woman to be admitted to the architecture program at l'École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1902; Jane Drew who qualified at the Architectural Association in London in 1934 and became one of the leading Modernists of her day; and Marion Mahony Griffin one of the world's earliest licensed female architects who graduated from MIT in 1894. Features the only two women to have been award the Pritzker Prize - Zaha Hadid and Kazuyo Sejima, and the only woman to have been awarded the AIA Gold Medal - Julia Morgan. Each structure is represented by a single striking image with the work arranged alphabetically by architect to create a unique global collection of spectacular structures from skyscrapers, museums, libraries, cultural spaces, and universities to apartment buildings, hotels, and private houses
