Abstract
Women in Landscape Architecture in Austria and Central Europe From the Foundation of Austria's First Horticultural High School for Women to the Present The proposed research project aims at analyzing the role of women garden and landscape architects in the 20th century, with special focus on Austria and Central Europe insofar as it concerns the newly founded states following the Austro-Hungarian monarchy after 1918. The research project is based on the hypothesis that women played a significant role in the maturation of the profession. Women garden architects were members of a larger constellation of professionals who shaped and influenced garden and landscape architecture and thus were of utmost importance for the profession and for the design of landscapes in the broadest sense. In due consideration of and relation to the diverse professional structure, focusing on women will give a deeper understanding of the profession, its practice and development, and, in consequence, of dealing with nature and landscape in the 20th century. During the 20th century, the role of women in garden and landscape architecture, as in professional life in general, matured according to political, social, and cultural changes. These changes had great impact on the approach and understanding of design and planning, on tasks, clients, and on the structure of organizations and of academic training. We intend to look closer at these changes and their mechanisms from the women’s side. The role of women in garden and landscape architecture will be related to the role of men to achieve a balanced overall view. Thus, the results allow for conclusions about the structure of the associations, and the work and tasks of garden and landscape architects in general. The analysis will also give an insight into the design approach and understanding. In particular, we look at how women garden and landscape architects coped and interfered with the conditions during Austro-fascism, National Socialism, and exile. Finally, we await new findings on the contribution of women in the formative postwar era and the following decades, mostly influenced by social liberation and ecological movement. We intend to collect ample and profound evidence of women working in garden and landscape architecture in the 20th century. Therefore, we have to look over the margin, to architecture, horticulture and gardening, literature, and to the arts, to grasp as many women as possible; women who were designing, cultivating, constructing, writing, and teaching, and thus were important for the creation of open spaces and for the profession in general at that time.
