大多数女建筑师都知晓这样的事实:密斯·凡·德罗成为现代派建筑的代名词,同为建筑师的爱人莉莉·瑞克离世时却一无所有;罗伯特·文丘里在1991年获得了普利策建筑奖,妻子兼合伙人丹尼斯·斯科特布朗,却始终得不到承认。而事实上,女建筑师习惯打破不同领域间障碍,对建筑、景观、材料和造型艺术进行多方整合与协作的能力在某种程度上是男性建筑师所欠缺的。 Most female architects are aware of the fact that Mies van der Rohe has become synonymous with modernist architecture and has nothing but the architect’s lover Lily Rick’s death; Robert Venturi won the Pulitzer Policy Building Award, his wife and partner Dennis Scott Brown, has never been recognized. In fact, the ability of female architects to break down barriers between different fields and to multi-faceted integration and collaboration of architecture, landscape, materials, and plastic arts is to some extent lacking by male architects.
