Architecting for Innovation

Join Us for the next event of Women in Architecture Australia (WIA)

Remote Event: Mapping Our Way in Architecture

We’re excited to invite you all to the Women in Architecture Australia (WIA) gathering – an initiative focused on driving progress toward equal representation and greater impact for women in architectural roles.
Our vision is bold yet grounded: to build a more balanced and inclusive profession where women can thrive, contribute meaningfully, and lead confidently. We believe that by embracing the diversity of our lived experiences, we can harness the full power of architecture to shape better organisations, societies, and futures.

What’s Happening?

Mapping Our Path: Architecture Career Journeys
An interactive remote workshop to unpack, reflect, and connect
Duration: 60 minutes
Format: Online participatory session - with sharing and collaborative reflection

In this session, you’ll have the opportunity to map your own professional journey - the moments that shaped you, the challenges you’ve faced, the “I wish I had…” insights, and the support that made a difference. We’ll use a visual storytelling approach called journey mapping to surface shared patterns and pivotal moments across different career stages.

Together, we’ll explore:

• Key emotional highs and lows in your career journey
• Turning points, detours, and leaps of faith
• Systemic blockers, surprising opportunities, and the power of mentorship
• What’s helped you thrive – and what still needs to change

Everyone’s Welcome

This isn’t just for women – it’s for everyone committed to building a more inclusive future for architecture. We welcome people of all genders to join the conversation. Change happens when we come together, listen deeply, and act with intention.

Whether you're just starting out, mid-career, or a seasoned architect, your story matters – and your voice will help shape where we go next.

Why This Matters
This session marks the beginning of a broader initiative to:

• Identify support needs at different career stages
• Develop mentoring pathways for aspiring women in architecture
• Create a shared knowledge base of diverse career journeys
• Contribute meaningfully to a more equal, inclusive profession

Come map the path forward with us.
Bring your experience, your voice, and your vision for what architecture can be.
