This exclusive Gābl Media All-Access Series panel brings together dynamic architectural historians and preservation experts to uncover these vital narratives, illuminating their direct impact on contemporary housing solutions. You will gain unparalleled access to the powerful intersection of equity, architectural preservation, and urban planning, empowering you to integrate these foundational legacies into highly effective modern design.Lesson Description:This panel discussion brings together the hosts of She Builds Podcast and architectural historian Kate Reggev to examine the overlooked legacy of women in residential design and construction—and why it matters today. From early neighborhood planning to affordable housing innovation, women have long shaped the built environment, yet their contributions have been largely erased from the narrative. This conversation will explore how that absence has impacted design standards, housing policy, and architectural education—and how reclaiming that history can inform more equitable, effective solutions going forward. Join us for a timely and thought-provoking discussion on visibility, preservation, and the future of housing through a more inclusive lens.Learning Objectives:Identify the historical roles women played in shaping American residential architecture, including design, construction, and planning contributions that were omitted from the architectural canon.Analyze how the erasure of women’s work in housing history has influenced current design standards, teaching frameworks, and professional credit structures in the built environment.Examine the parallels between contemporary affordable housing models and past innovations led by women, and understand how these forgotten strategies can inform today’s housing challenges.Explore actionable steps architects and educators can take to restore these legacies, incorporate them into modern design discourse, and use them to reshape inclusive housing practices going forward.Take the Quiz for your CertificateAIA CES Provider statementGābl Media is a registered provider of AIA-approved continuing education under Provider Number 10024977.
