This exhibit recognizes the work of women architects, who represent a low 13.3 percent of the profession. The exhibition will be on display through January 2011.

Each work on display fit into a standard manila envelope. Nearly 40 years later, 13.3%… provides a similar public forum to share the work of today's practicing female architects. Jurkowski's entry was a banner comprised of 39 pages interwoven together exhibiting the work of the firm and its 17 women (56 percent of BJAC's staff), including more than 1,000 projects.
