Contemporary Arts Center
Program Overview
The Lois and Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art was designed by the most famous female architect in history, Zaha Hadid. Her success, however, is unique. In America, women make up 50% of architect students, but only 23% of registered architects are women.
The recent Architecture Matters article in Soapbox, Women in Architecture, addressed the gender disparity in the architecture profession. To continue the discussion, architects representing a range of backgrounds and experiences will discuss the challenges women face in pursuing architecture as a career, why it's important that they're represented in the profession, and what's being done to address the barriers.
Presented by AIA Cincinnati’s Women in Architecture committee, the Contemporary Arts Center, and Soapbox.

Presented By
AIA Cincinnati
AIA Cincinnati advocates for the architectural profession and is a resource for its members in service to society. Founded in 1870, AIA Cincinnati was the fourth chartered chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). AIA is the professional organization of Registered Architects who create, improve, and sustain the communities where we live, work, and play.
Contemporary Arts Center
The Contemporary Arts Center is a catalyst for dialogue and discovery, driven by the art, artists, and ideas of our time. Through our exhibitions, performances, educational and community programs and partnerships, the Contemporary Arts Center (CAC) provides opportunities for encounter: with artists both local and global, with cultural thought leaders, and with one’s own creative potential. Embedded in the fabric of its community and committed to lifelong learning, the CAC aims to serve as an integral forum where people can reflect, create, collaborate, and connect around a more inclusive and sustainable culture of tomorrow.
Since its founding in 1939, the CAC has been a champion of emerging ideas in contemporary art, hosting one of the first Midwest exhibitions of Picasso’s Guernica in 1939; mounting an early exhibition of Pop Art in 1963; representing the United States at the São Paulo Biennial in 1975; and presenting— and successfully defending—the 1990 Mapplethorpe retrospective that became a lightning rod in the era’s culture wars and propelled the CAC into the national spotlight. Today, the CAC occupies the Lois & Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art, the first museum designed by architect Zaha Hadid and the first U.S. museum designed by a woman.
