100 Women: Architects in Practice

Dr. Harriet Harriss (ARB, RIBA, PHEA, Assoc.AIA, FRSA) is an award-winning educator, writer, qualified architect and professor at Pratt Institute, New York, where she previously served as the Dean of the School of Architecture for three years. Her research and scholarly specialisms confront the relationship between the built (and un-built) environment, and questions of diversity, equity and inclusion - and - propose climate crisis and social justice curriculum and pedagogies. Harriet has spoken about these matters across a wide range of media channels including the BBC TV and Radio, Sky TV, and Fox Nation and was nominated by Dezeen as a champion for women in architecture and design in 2019. Her highly-regarded past publications include Radical Pedagogies; Architectural Education & the British Tradition (2015), A Gendered Profession (2016), Interior Futures (2019), award-winning Architects After Architecture (2020), Greta Magnusson Grossman: Modern Design From Sweden To California (2021), Working at the Intersection: Architecture After the Anthropocene (2022) and Architectural Pedagogies of the Global South (2023).
