Why architecture has a large gender pay gap

from Dezeen Weekly

Why are there so few women in top architecture jobs? What's the deal with the world's first kilometre-high skyscraper, currently under construction in Saudi Arabia? And why do major building projects stall?   In this episode, Dezeen features editor Nat Barker is joined by architecture reporter Amy Peacock and editor Tom Ravenscroft.   They discuss the most recent gender pay gap figures for the biggest UK architecture studios, and the issue of unequal salaries in the profession.   Then, they talk about Jeddah Tower, which is steadily rising to become the world's tallest building after a series of setbacks.   To finish, with the White House East Wing currently an inactive building site, the team considers other famous cases of buildings that have faced mid-construction delays.
