CASACOR Peru 2019. Depa de Chicas - Marilú Salcedo. The space was designed for two friends, a veterinarian and a lawyer. The feel is of a casual and interesting mix of original architecture, classic, industrial and rustic elements. The neutral colors of the finishes are highlighted with touches of color in tapestries, objects and works of art present in every corner of this 100 m² space.

CASACOR Peru 2019. La Cocina de la Pesquisadora Culinaria - Claudia Weis. A woman who owns her space and time is the force that drives the project and makes the kitchen go beyond practicality, transforming it into a creative environment. The island combines several functions and the stone comes in a neutral tone, as the walls are covered in various colors.

According to a census conducted by the Brazilian Council of Architecture and Urbanism (CAU), women represent 63% of professionals working in the country. Even though they are the majority, recognition is still scarce – to date, only three women have been awarded a Pritzker, the world's most important architecture award, which has been in existence for 41 years. Iranian-British architect Zara Hadid won the prize in 2004, while the duo Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara, from Grafton Architects, were the big winners in 2020. With this in mind, at CASACOR 2019, 10 female architects dedicated their spaces to female strength and independence. In six squares across Brazil and even at the exhibition in Peru, the projects are portraits of women as understood by women, and bring functionality, a mature outlook and a spirit of leadership.
