Built by Women DC / BxW DC is a crowd-sourced competition organized by the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation (BWAF) to recognize and support the diverse women working in design and construction in and around Washington D.C. BWAF works to change the culture of the built environment professions through “documenting women’s work,” “educating the public,” and “transforming the industry.”

This year the organization recognized 110 buildings, structures, and other built environments, either contemporary or historic, designed or constructed by women in the Washington, D.C. region. The winning sites included projects from Civic, Commercial, Cultural, Institutional, Landscape, Mixed-Use, Residential, Transportation, and Urban Design categories.

View the displays in the Great Hall March 19-20.

Tour the winning sites March 19.
