people who design buildings and supervise construction
from Greek arkhitekton, from arkhi- 'chief' + tekton 'builder'
Architects are the 'chief builders' - they're the masterminds behind every structure!
Architecture was coded male-dominated through 20th century; women architects (Zaha Hadid, I.M. Pei's era peers) were historically sidelined and credited less in canon.
Use neutrally; actively credit women architects in historical and contemporary discussions—they designed major structures often attributed to male colleagues.
Women architects pioneered brutalism, parametric design, and sustainable architecture; intentionally naming them (Eileen Gray, Tatiana Bilbao, Neri Oxman) restores erased contributions.
