Unstacking the Deck: A Game of Change

VANCOUVER: Our friends at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Manitoba and Winnipeg Architecture Foundation share some incredible research into early female architects who were born, educated, and/or worked in Manitoba: from the first female UM B.Arch graduate in 1932, to women who forged careers in the 1960-70s. Many of those featured went on to establish careers here in Vancouver. Some names you will be familiar with, while many others we ought to learn about.

UNSTACKING THE DECK is a double deck of playing cards that builds awareness of women in architecture in Canada and inspires inclusive conversation and action on social justice; Indigenous rights and representation; and breaking the bias of gender, race and class.

The League is grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute in small part to this wonderful project, led by Dr. Lisa Landrum, Associate Dean (Research) and Associate Professor at the Faculty of Architecture, University of Manitoba.
