2023 LATSIS

2023 LATSIS Symposium

“I feel empowered when I work for my community. I feel like I can be an advocate and make decisions because I am a citizen architect and build for it.” – Carol Ross Barney at the 2023 LATSIS Symposium

Carol and an international group of world-renowned women practitioners discussed goals, strategies and the impact of innovation in design by architectural practices led by women at the symposium, Affirming Actions, in Lausanne, Switzerland, organized by Professor Paolo Tombesi of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. The symposium engages with diverse regions of the world and modes of practice whilst emphasizing intellectual energy, entrepreneurial spirit and eventual achievements of the architects.
