Following the success of the first chapter, broadcast in 2022, the second part of the Women In Architecture documentary series follows the professional and personal lives of Danish architect Dorte Mandrup and Nigerian architect Tosin Oshinowo. The documentary series paints a portrait of two internationally renowned architects, both founders of their respective agencies, through an account of their backgrounds and careers. They talk about their creative processes and personal philosophies. Initiated by Sky-frame in collaboration with ArchDaily and directed by Boris Noir, Women In Architecture aims to raise awareness and give a voice to women in architecture.
