Entiendo la representación, pero si la indignación sólo alcanza para exigir reconocimiento y no para transformar la manera en la que se produce la arquitectura, algo no está bien. Hay mujeres arquitectas que explotan y violentan a hombres y mujeres.
A mi me preocupa que a las arquitectas les preocupe figurar en estos espacios.
¿Será que podemos ir más allá de exigir representación en espacios donde se celebra la arquitectura como praxis dominante, explotadora y patriarcal?

@walkingpix@IIED Good question @walkingpix as the issue of water supply is quite challenging in the area. In this case, there is nearby water well that has been connected to the water tank so in case of water shortage it gets refilled! The next step is to include solar panels!

"Students were asked to think about the basic priorities for bathroom facilities – most agreed on flushing #toilets, natural lighting, comfort and running water.
By contrast, when the same question was put to the villagers, they identified basic health and safety needs..." #SDG6

Le seguiré dando vueltas a una respuesta que no ha dejado indiferente a nadie.
