Onde estão as mulheres arquitetas maceioenses? Um levantamento sobre a produção arquitetônica feminina em Maceió, desde a década de 50 até os dias atuais

Abstract

In Maceió, the presence of the female figure in the architectural context became strongly present since the foundation of the first course of Architecture and Urbanism in the city (1973). Since then, it has been noticed that up to the present day, the number of female architects stands out among men. Faced with this realization, it is necessary to answer a question: Where are the female architects in Maceió? In this way, this work is part of the research for the master's dissertation of the DEHA (Dynamics of the Inhabited Space), of the post-graduation program of the Federal University of Alagoas, and is in the research line of 2, which studies the conception , construction and adaptation of the inhabited space, the terrain for its development. The general objective of the research is to identify the work of women pioneers and contemporaries of Maceió, since the 1950s, who are dedicated to the practice of architecture, the theoretical field and social causes. And as specific objectives the work aims to: study the role of women in contemporary society and Alagoas; research on the insertion of women in the profession of architect; and analyze the work of pioneer women in Maceioan architecture. It is noticed that the number of female architects working in Maceió still does not match the scarce bibliography on the subject. This work inserts itself in this lacuna, seeking to raise the place occupied by these professionals in the Maceió context.
