The Marker Design Challenge “A dedicated recognition of women in architecture!” competition tasks its participants with designing a physical marker that will be placed next to a structure or landscape of their choice that was designed by a woman, anywhere in the world. The marker can come in any form – as a plaque, monument, mural, sculpture, symbol, piece of street art, as well as physically embedded in a cornerstone.

Participants have total creative freedom and must propose which public environment in which city they feel would benefit most from their markers’ designs.

By adding women’s names to their own monuments, participants in the Marker Design Challenge, competition will be taking an active role in preserving legacies and revising the cultural record of women working in the built environment professions.
