AWA LEGACY: MINI-STORIES– XX|LA EPISODE 037
<br /> I’m bringing you a set of mini-stories that were taped live at the AWA 100th Building Our Legacy event on September 10, 2022 at the <a href="https://henrybuilt.com/">HenryBuilt</a> showroom in LA’s art district. This event not only celebrated <a href="https://www.awaplusd.org/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.awaplusd.org/">AWA+D’s</a> 100 year anniversary, but also focused on how we can preserve the legacies of women in architecture—especially our own legacies. As we know, too often women’s work was historically unrecognized, erased, and forgotten, and we lose so much by not being able to access this information. We can’t keep repeating this mistake!For example, Christina Morris from the <a href="https://savingplaces.org/">National Trust for Historic Preservation</a> gave a presentation on <a href="https://savingplaces.org/womens-history" data-type="URL" data-id="https://savingplaces.org/womens-history">Where Women Made History</a>, an effort to bring more recognition and respect to women’s achievements. One of the projects she highlighted was <a href="https://savingplaces.org/stories/the-colorful-past-and-bright-future-of-azurest-south-home-of-a-pioneering-black-architect">Azurest South, the home of Amaza Lee Meredith</a>, significant as it was designed by a black queer woman architect for her and her partner Dr. Edna Meade Colson. I didn’t know about Amaza Lee Meredith, but I feel like we all should know more about her.The legacy event was coordinated with the <a href="https://spec.lib.vt.edu/iawa/">International Archive of Women in Architecture (IAWA)</a>, which holds the official archive for AWA+D at <a href="https://aad.vt.edu/">Virginia Tech</a>. The main takeaway from the event was how important it is to document our work, and we should all consider submitting work to the <a href="https://spec.lib.vt.edu/iawa/">IAWA</a>, not just when we’re at the end of our careers, but even along the way. On that note, we set up a recording booth at the event with a few prompts, hoping to capture short stories and mini-interviews from event attendees, and this recorded material is being released on this podcast, as well as being sent to the<a href="https://spec.lib.vt.edu/iawa/"> IAWA</a> as part of the AWA legacy. The women featured in this recording are: Virginia Tanzmann, Sona Gevorkyan, Alicia Morales, Beatriz Navarro, Christina Monti, Christie Wang, Stefanie Cheng, Danielle De Young, Anne Zimmerman, Koje Shoraka, Michelle Weisman, Magdalena Glen-Schieneman, and podcast host Audrey Sato.<br />

Interview with Barbara Elwood: AWA 100th Special Episode – XX|LA Episode 036
<br /> This special episode is released in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the <a href="https://www.awaplusd.org/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.awaplusd.org/">Association for Women in Architecture and Design.</a> In today’s episode, I’m joined by Barbara Elwood, who served three terms as madame president of <a href="https://www.awaplusd.org/">AWA+D </a>(which was then named AWA-LA) in 1960, 1962, and 1996. Barbara enrolled in <a href="https://arch.usc.edu/home" data-type="URL" data-id="https://arch.usc.edu/home">USC Architecture’s</a> Industrial Design program in 1952, and by the end of her first semester, was the only woman in her class. It’s so fascinating to hear about Barbara’s experiences and also hear about the evolution of AWA through her recollections. Please support AWA+D by <a href="https://www.awaplusd.org/membership">becoming a member</a>, <a href="https://www.awaplusd.org/sponsorship">sponsoring</a> the organization, or <a href="https://www.awaplusd.org/donate-to-awaf">donating to our sister organization, the AWAF (Association for Women in Architecture Foundation).</a><br />

Interview with Audrey Sato by Annie Chu – XX|LA Episode 035
<br /> Today’s episode is going to be a little bit of a different one, because the roles are reversed! Annie Chu of <a href="https://www.chugooding.com/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.chugooding.com/">Chu+Gooding Architects</a>, who is featured in <a href="http://www.xx-la.com/interview-with-annie-chu-xxla-episode-031/">Episode 31</a>, graciously offered to interview me for this episode. I am an architect and president of <a href="https://audreysato.com/index.html">Sato Architects, Inc.</a>, a podcast host, and past president of the <a href="https://www.awaplusd.org/">Association for Women in Architecture + Design (AWA+D)</a>. I previously taught architecture at <a href="https://www.cpp.edu/env/architecture/index.shtml">Cal Poly Pomona</a>, my alma mater. I have a new role to add to my list, which is that I’m going to become a mother in a couple of months. I’ll have my hands full keeping a little human and small business alive, so this will be the last podcast episode, at least for now. We’ve had a pretty amazing run, and I am so very thankful for every person I’ve been able to meet through podcasting.<br />
