Kate Macintosh: ‘The idea that everyone should have decent housing is just a given’
Alpa Depani talks to the retired but still-campaigning 83-year-old about her career and projects

today (11.03) at 5pm at the Jane Drew Prize for Architecture event –
How does it feel to have won this year’s Jane Drew Prize?
I can still hardly believe it. It was a bolt from the blue. When I studied at Edinburgh, Jane Drew was one of the very few women architects I had heard of. She was definitely an inspiration to me.

LONDON
.- To mark International Women s Day 2021, the Royal Institute of British Architects has published audio recordings of a four-part lecture series called Pioneers - Women Architects and Their Work: unheard by a public audience for 35 years.
The lectures were given and recorded at an event on 29 April 1986 at RIBA Headquarters in London, by four leading 20th century UK women architects: Jane Drew, Patricia Tindale, Elaine Denby, and Rosemary Stjernstedt.
Around 10 to 20 minutes long, each lecture features one of the architects reflecting on the trajectory of their career, exploring in part the impact that being a woman had on it and interrogating both their successes and the challenges they faced. Some of the challenges they raise include difficulties finding employment in practice, the impact of family life, and being asked to accept lower pay than their male colleagues.
RIBA unearths archived talks from leading female architects
The RIBA has published four lectures by leading female architects of the 20
th century, after rediscovering the recordings among the four million items in its archive
The lectures, all delivered at the RIBA headquarters in April 1986, see Jane Drew, Patricia Tindale, Elaine Denby and Rosemary Stjernstedt chart the successes and challenges in their careers.
