When I entered university there were about 80 students in our class, 15 women and 65 men. 最终, 5个女孩退出了这个项目, 或者转到其他领域, and in the end there were 10 of us and 65 guys. 当时，people believed architecture programs were more suitable for men as the field involved long hours works, extreme workloads and the pressure of deadlines. They thought that this would leave no room for a normal family life. The majority of the firms – architectural and engineering – were owned, ran, and managed by men.
我毕业的时候，情况 开始改变. There were more women entering the program and joining the job market after graduation. They were taking management positions, leading projects, and running major projects. Although there was a clear shift in the market and demand, the majority of women were still in the design sector, while guys were running the construction phase of projects.
I am hoping to see equal opportunity for all individuals to shine and grow, 不论种族, 宗教与国籍. 女性 should be supported to find a balance between their family and work. 平等的机会 has to be provided for young women and men entering the job market. Extra attention and support needs to be provided around childbirth.
At AG平台, there is equal opportunity for women to grow in their fields. 他们可以想飞多高就飞多高. 他们有机会发光. Although there are not many women in director and partner positions, there are many in the managements and leading roles.
Today, I see a lot of women actively working in 建筑与城市规划. They are creative, passionate, responsible, organized, knowledgeable, and much more. clients I’ve dealt with love to work with women as, usually, the end result is a proper work. 我以IBI办公室为例. The number of women in project management positions is increasing. Our finance and marketing management roles in Canada West are being filled by women. I don’t see any end to this growth and I hope that soon, more upper managements positions will be filled by women.
