About the Film

Making Space: 5 Women Changing the Face of Architecture

2014 / USA / 50 mins Director Ultan Guilfoyle

For the first time in history, women are designing our world. A new generation of women is creating some of today’s most iconic architectural designs. They are the rising stars in what has been an all-male galaxy and they are literally and figuratively changing the landscape.

MAKING SPACE /5 Women Changing the Face of Architecture brings to the screen the personal journeys and outstanding designs of Annabelle Selldorf of New York, Farshid Moussavi of London, Odile Decq of Paris, Marianne McKenna of Toronto, and Kathryn Gustafson of Seattle, Washington DC ,and London. Lively, engaging and character-driven, MAKING SPACE reveals how these women are succeeding in a profession long dominated by men. We hear about what drives and challenges them, what choices they have made, and what is the nature of their creative process. We see the women both inside and outside their work environments and visit spectacular sites near and far.
