Editor's Picks #505


Eleanor Marshall  examined how and why "there is a significant pay gap between men and women in architecture" on both sides of the Atlantic.


Will Galloway totally supports transparent salaries "It may not solve the underlying problems, still worth it to make the difference an obvious one. Employers can then decide how to justify their decisions...Canada has the sunshine list, which shows the salary of every government employee making more than $100,000/year in each province."

Plus, Hannah Wood (who since last November, has been living and working in southern Tanzania) profiled 5 Emerging Female Architects of East Africa.
