NEW YORK CITY — The Museum of Modern Art will present “Women in Modernism: Making Places in Architecture,” a program exploring the role that architectural arbiters in the Twentieth Century — of the past and the present — have had and continue to have in shaping the history and defining the legacy of modern architecture in the United States on Thursday, October 25, at 6:30 pm in the museum’s Celeste Bartos Theater.

Scholars, curators, architects and others will address the process of selection and the values that they employ each time they design a course or exhibition, or publish a book or an article.

Participants include Sarah Herda, director, The Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts, Chicago; Toshiko Mori, architect and Robert P. Hubbard Professor in the Practice of Architecture and chair of the Department of Architecture, Harvard University; Karen Stein, former editorial director, Phaidon Press; and main speaker, Gwendolyn Wright, architectural historian and professor of architecture, planning and preservation, Columbia University. 

Barry Bergdoll, The Philip Johnson Chief Curator, Department of Architecture and Design, Museum of Modern Art, moderates the discussion, with a welcome by Beverly Willis, FAIA.

The event is a collaboration between the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation and Museum of Modern Art’s Department of Architecture and Design.
