Autumn 2019 Magazine

The latest edition of the AHSS Magazine is now available to view online.

This edition of the AHSS Magazine considers the impact of women on the built environment, with four featured articles that update and enrich the historical narrative. You will also find news from the heritage sector and reports about local developments from our regional groups and Cases Panels as well as reviews on exhibitions, events and books.

A word from our Editor, Abigail Daly:

‘Named female architects are few and far between in the historical record, a situation which is unsurprising given the profession’s refusal in the past to admit women into their ranks and award them qualifications. However, as one of our authors, Morag Cross puts it, it is still possible to recognise women’s influence; ‘’we just need to change our ‘historical spectacles’ and squint a bit’.
