Description: Emma Lewis shares a project she worked on in her Barnard Columbia Architecture class entitled "Feminism and Architectyre" during the spring 2021 semester. Her zine is split into the following sections: "Timeline," "Why a Zine," "What is an Architect," "Minnette's Ethos," "The Movements: Modernism and Arts and Crafts," "Karunaratne House," "Amarasinghe House," and "Pieris House." Printed on white paper with red ink, Lewis shares images, quotes, and analysis on Minnette de Silva's life's work, situating the architect's oeuvre within the cultural-architectural movements of the 1950s. Lewis includes detailed descriptions on the three houses -- Karunaratne House, Amarasinghe House, and Pieris House -- that Minnette designed. -- Grace Li
