Dr Jane Hall
After studying architecture at King’s College Cambridge and the Royal College of Art in London, Jane was the inaugural recipient of the British Council’s Lina Bo Bardi Fellowship in 2013. This research formed the basis of her PhD, which focused on new models of practice in Brazil. It compared Bo Bardi’s work in Brazil with that of Alison and Peter Smithson in the UK, addressing the influence of modernism on post-war architecture and the changing role of the architect.
Jane wrote ‘Breaking Ground : Architecture by Women’ (Phaidon, 2019), which features 180 buildings by female architects. The book developed as Jane finished her PhD and became “increasingly frustrated with the lack of intersectional discourse about women in architecture.”
