We are thrilled to have four projects–(left to right) Alice Tully Hall, The Spence School, the Center for Global Conservation, and Hunter's Point Campus–featured in the BxW NYC exhibition at the Center for Architecture from March 2 through April 11, 2015. These projects represent the work of Senior Partner Sylvia Smith, Partner Heidi Blau, and Principal Ann Rolland.

Last fall, the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation (BWAF) launched a public competition for submissions of women-built sites. 98 diverse sites built, engineered or constructed by women that reflect strong design, have historical or cultural significance, or have substantial social or community impact were selected by a jury representing the architectural, engineering and construction professions.

Built by Women (BxW) is a social and educational initiative, celebrating women's contributions to the built environment. In addition to recognizing and supporting the diverse women working in these professions, BxW provides both current professionals and students strong role models and mentors. By profiling and visually mapping women's work across the U.S., starting with NYC, BWAF is raising awareness about the spaces where we live, work and play that were built by women.
