Wikipedia Edit-a-thon: Women in Architecture #guggathon @ Guggenheim
On Thursday October 15, 2015, in conjunction with Archtober and New York Archives Week, the Guggenheim will host its third Wikipedia edit-a-thon — or, #guggathon — to enhance articles related to women in architecture on Wikipedia. The Guggenheim aims to further the goals of Ada Lovelace Day for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics}, and Art+Feminism for art, in a field that, by its nature combines both. The Guggenheim will work alongside ArchiteXX, the founders of WikiD: Women Wikipedia Design #wikiD, the international education and advocacy program working to increase the number of Wikipedia articles on women in architecture and the built environment.

New and experienced editors are welcome. The event will include a training session for participants who are new to Wikipedia and Wikipedia specialists will be on hand to provide basic instruction and editing support.

Public programming

[edit]

Presentations will be held in the Peter B. Lewis Theater of The Sackler Center for Arts Education @ Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (map of building)

  • 12:00 pm, Peter B. Lewis Theater: A Petition for Justness: Women, Inclusion, and the Culture of Architecture
    • Presentation by Arielle Assouline-Lichten and Caroline James, the Harvard Graduate School of Design students behind the petition to award Denise Scott Brown the 1991 Pritzker Architecture Prize.
      • The Petition to recognize Denise Scott Brown for the 1991 Pritzker Architecture Prize sparked anew the discussion of inclusion and fairness in architecture. Begun as a grassroots campaign for one individual, the Petition transformed through the power of networks and social media to address larger concerns in architecture, which relate in particular to women and minorities. Arielle and Caroline will speak about the origins of the Petition in reference to their personal histories as well as the changes related to parity in architecture that are currently underway.
  • 1:00 pm, Lunch
    • Lunch will be offered to those planning to attend both programs.
  • 2:00 pm, Peter B. Lewis Theater: Pioneering Women in American Architecture
    • Panel discussion co-chaired by Mary McLeod and Victoria Rosner
      • Why have women's accomplishments so often been omitted from American architectural history, and how can we correct the record? For the past few years, the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation, supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, has worked to create an online archive profiling important but neglected American women architects of the early 20th century. A panel discussion with some of the profile authors will explore the work of these architects and consider both why their contributions have been overlooked and how documenting their histories can both support new approaches to architectural history and help to change the conversation about American architecture.
    • Panelists include Gabrielle Esperdy, architectural historian and associate professor of architecture, New Jersey Institute of Technology; Anat Falbel, architecture historian and research collaborator, State University of Campinas, Brazil; Dolores Hayden, Professor of Architecture, Urbanism, and American Studies, Yale University; Despina Stratigakos, Interim Chair and associate professor, Department of Architecture, University at Buffalo, State University of New York; and Roberta Washington, Principal, Roberta Washington Architects.
  • 3:30 pm until 8:00 pm, Wikipedia editing
    • Wikipedia editing will follow beginning at 3:30 pm until 8 pm. The editing session will be joined by ArchiteXX, the founders of #WikiD: Women Wikipedia Design, the international education and advocacy program working to increase the number of Wikipedia articles on women in architecture and the built environment.
    • New and experienced editors are welcome. The event will include a training session for participants who are new to Wikipedia and Wikipedia specialists will be on hand to provide basic instruction and editing support.
  • 6:00 pm, Tour
    • In the evening, Wikipedia editors will also be invited to take an architectural tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright–designed Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum led by Guggenheim associate director Megan Chusid, AIA. First come, first served.
