Association for Women in Architecture and Design

The Association for Women in Architecture and Design (AWA+D) is a nonprofit professional association based in Los Angeles, California. The organization aims to support women working in the fields of architecture and design through educational programming, networking and mentoring.[1] The history of the AWA+D dates back to 1922.[2]

History

Founded on January 28, 1922, the AWA+D began as Alpha Alpha Gamma, a national sorority of women architecture students.[3] In 1934, practicing women architects formed the Association of Women in Architecture, with Alpha Alpha Gamma remaining the affiliate organization for students.[2] The organization changed its name to the Association of Women in Architecture in 1982. In 2012, the name changed to The Association for Women in Architecture and Design.

The organization’s archives are held at the University Libraries at Virginia Tech in The International Archive of Women in Architecture (IAWA).[4]

gollark: Also, if you burn down your house you lose the things inside. If you are sensible, you have backups of your computer's contents and so will not.
gollark: Someone breaking in wouldn't then contaminate my house with hard-to-detect burglars which could cause problems later, and reinstalling is waaaay easier than unburning houses.
gollark: You can probably kill the programs or reboot in safe mode, but this sort of behaviour is more "malware" than just "programs you don't want", so reinstalling is probably better. At least run an antivirus or something. It might help. Maybe.
gollark: Well, you could try randomly deleting the files the programs own.
