Every day, ETX Studio is presenting a figure for our times. Among the latest is the number six, for six names on a list of women who deserve to win a RIBA Royal Gold Medal, one of the most prestigious awards in the world of architecture.

Since it was first awarded in 1848, the venerable Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has only twice presented the Gold Medal to an individual woman or a women-led practice. The first of these occasions was in 2016, when the award was given to the late Zaha Hadid, who was also a laureate of the ultra-prestigious Pritzker Prize.
