The coordinator of admissions for the Graduate School of Design, Oscar King III, led a symposium yesterday which was intended to help attract more women into the traditionally amle-dominated architectural fields.
King, who is also an instructor in City Planning, introduced four women connected with the GSD who answered questions on careers for women in basic architecture, city planning, landscape architecture and urban design.
King stressed that architecture is an expanding field with opportunities not only for those interested in practical design, but also "for lawyers, economists and sociologists."
"The only prerequisites for design school are a B.A. and basic courses in math and physics which no undergraduates should have trouble fulfilling," King said. He urged Radcliffe students interested in architecture to audit or enroll in courses taught at the GSD.
The symposium was the first in the series "Expanding Career Options for Women," sponsored by the Radcliffe Institute this Spring.
