You are invited:July 26-July 31, 2015
In an unprecedented collaboration, the International Archive of Women in Architecture (IAWA) at Virginia Tech will host the 18th Congress of the L'Union Internationale des Femmes Architectes to connect and build a network of women in architecture and design; and to collect, preserve, and highlight the professional contributions of women architects and designers, growing the resources of the IAWA.

The theme of the 18th Congress is Contributing to the Constellation which aims to portray and elucidate the woman's role and influence in architecture and other design related fields. This idea of a constellation advances the IAWA's mission to preserve the works of women pioneers in architecture and design. As these trailblazing stars extinguish, their work may be lost. Permanently. We save their work, uncovering these materials to preserve them for future generations while also supporting the stars of today.
We are excited to announce that early bird registration is OPEN for the 18th UIFA Congress. www.uifa2015.com
