Milka Bliznakov Prize

This year the jury for the Third Milka Bliznakov Prize of the International Archive of Women in Architecture awarded Commendations to two finalists' projects.

Ozlem Erdogdu Erkarslan received a Commendation for her research on Turkish Women Architectsin the Late Ottoman and early Republican Era 1908-1960. Her documentation of the cultural and professional practice of this time, which gave women the ability to practice on par with male colleagues when such opportunities were often rare in other societies, brings new and fascinating history to light.

Barbara A. Nadel received a Commendation for her new book titled Building Security: Handbook for Architectural Planning and Design. Her book challenges architects to recognize the complexity of security issues while calling for inclusion of security measures in an unobtrusive manner within the design work.
