Celebrating Women in Construction and Architecture, Inspiring Inclusivity

March 7, 2024
Dubai, United Arab Emirates

AIA Middle East and RIBA joined forces to create a joint panel discussion celebrating International Women’s Day on at Technal’s Showroom in Dubai. It was an inspiring evening celebrating the stories and achievements of women in architecture and design in the UAE! From diverse roles to trailblazing work, our panelists shared narratives of empowerment and equality. We explored the perceptions of women working in the Middle East, of women working in the industry in general, and how cultural norms and societal expectations impact their work. A very lively discussion was held about career challenges and barriers and how these could be turned into opportunities.
