ArchiteXX is creating an award for graduating women from accredited U.S. and Canadian Schools of Architecture. This Award is inspired by, and honors, Victoria Rospond’s multi-faceted, reformative, and generous approach to the practice of Architecture. The aspiration for the Victoria Rospond Award is to provide agency in carrying purpose into practice--practice that can be transformative and world changing.

As a creative individual whose design sensibilities permeated all aspects of her life, Victoria Rospond understood the vital importance of architecture as both a disciplinary pursuit, leveraged to improve the lives of those who use it, and a way of being in the world where she cared deeply about those she worked with and for. She understood practice as a space of real, even radical opportunity for exploration, and possibilities of new modes of working as an architect.
 
Victoria was an immensely generous person who was committed to fostering the next generation of architects. She mentored countless interns and young architects who worked at CDR Studio Architects, a practice she co-founded in 1996, as well as women who were involved in ArchiteXX, a women and architecture organization, where she was a founding board member. For Victoria, being an architect was not only about designing and building but also about being involved in the future of the discipline and ensuring that future generations of architects come to understand the importance of an expansive, collaborative, responsive, and engaged profession.
 
ArchiteXX will oversee the management of the award and each recipient of the Victoria Rospond Award will be chosen by the faculty teaching the professional practice course. We would like the first school that will host this award to be, The Rhode Island School of Design, Victoria’s alma mater to homage to the institution that was foundational for her career.

ArchiteXX would like to invite everyone you know to help write into wikipedia women designers, architects and all those involved in the creation of our built environment. We are continuing our global efforts in order to have the most diverse and wide ranging of women written in. Our WikiD guides to editing Wikipedia are here to help you.

WOMEN ARCHITECTS are EVERYWHERE!

Women architects are everywhere, every country, every city, every town, and every neighborhood and yet, we remain under recognized and under publicized.
