Site work has always been and remains a pivotal stage in forming our built environment. Most architects, designers or engineers have at one point or another been on the grounds and understand the importance of presence within the project development phases. Working on construction sites can be a valuable learning experience and allows different inputs from diverse experts to be considered in forming a better urban, living, and working environment for all. Starting from this idea, and as we delve into Women in Architecture as part of our ArchDaily topics, we published an invitation, encouraging our readers to share their opinion on gender-based discrimination on the construction site.

The aim is to display different accounts and start a conversation on a situation that, according to a previous Architects' Journal (AJ) annual survey, can become obstructive and limit growth opportunities or creative instances of certain members of the construction industry. We lead the open call with no intention of developing a scientific research survey but to engage our global community and gather diverse accounts from different regions to highlight a small part of a much larger reality.
