Chasing the Sky is the second book in the /u201820 Stories/u2019 series, with each edition featuring different aspects of the architecture industry. In Chasing the Sky the concentrated voice of some of Australia/u2019s most dynamic practitioners, and their substantial projects, compel us to strive for just such possibility; for equitable and vital architectural careers in our immediate reach. Distilled in this volume is a palpable sense of women at work in architecture, of the joys and challenges of a creative profession and the culture of making. Common themes and questions run across the volume to reveal commonalities and differences.
