women in the field
the Presence of the Absence
we are designing the un-built, the un-made; where the absence of the made or built is not nothing
we are building the field for intentional absence
moving the culture away from consumerism and the enormous productivity that supports that extractive paradigm

women in the field
about
women in the field was founded in 2023 by four Australian women in the architectural field: sarah k, alex lawlor, naomi barun and saran kim; to give form and programme to the concept of the Presence of the Absence, in the year following its launch at the salone del mobile in Milan 2022.
our experience combines the fields of architectural design, landscape architecture, international curation and extensive large-scale project management
