#151/Modernism Week: Women in Architecture with Libby Otto + Jane Hall

Nowhere in the world celebrates Modernism better than Modernism Week in Palm Springs, California.  Every February, they have a huge architecture and design festival and for the last five years, USModernist has been there interviewing nearly all Modernism Week's keynote speakers plus special guests at the USModernist compound, aka poolside at the hip Hotel Skylark. Almost all the famous names in the pantheon of mid-century modern architecture are, well, male, a function of the widely held but false belief there weren't many women interested in architecture, plus the sad but true fact that these women were marginalized by the profession, their colleagues, and the media.  Host George Smart meets with MW speakers Libby Otto and Jane Hall, two authors discussing amazing women in architecture we don't know about – and why we should.
