Schwartz’s designs of plazas and gardens are renowned for defying traditional distinctions between art and architecture.
A successful architecture firm made it easier for Schwartz to pen the letter to Bok, she said.
According to the chair of the architecture department, Toshiko Mori, six of the 29 senior GSD faculty are female. In her own department, four of the 12 senior faculty are women.
Mori, who became the first woman to be tenured at GSD when she arrived in 1995, said a “generation gap” exists in architecture: women comprise nearly half of the student body, but there are few female faculty.
This problem is “acute” in the landscape architecture department, Mori said, which sometimes has a student body that is three-quarters female.
