,,Jeden z důvodů, proč se sem stahuje stále více lidí, je, že tu o něco dobrého usilujeme. Nedohadujeme se o hloupostech. Toto pozitivní nasměrování je pro mě důvodem, proč pracuju s velkou radostí.''

,,Martin (môj manžel) mi poradil, aby som si proste založila vlastný ateliér. Nikdy som neverila, že môžem mať vlastný ateliér. Lenže nastala táto situácia. V pondelok som objasnila situáciu svojmu teamu a všetky tri kolegyne sa rozhodli odísť so mnou.''

,,V přípravě soutěží se nažíme změnit to abychom mohli zvýšit částky pro výběrová řízení. Nebo nevybírat pouze na základě nejnižší cenové nabídky. Oproti právníkům, kteří jsou schopni jít o 10-20 procent níž od předpokládané ceny za dílo, architekti zacházejí až do výše 70 procent (!).

Pokud se podceňujeme finančně, tak se podceňujeme jako profese.''

V odlehlejších částech Prahy 6 je obyčejně problém nalákat lidi. Něco jiného je pozvat lidi do Dejvic a nebo do Šárky. To ale neznamená, že chceme všechno dělat v Dejvicích, to by bylo trochu jednoduché, ne?

,,S tím, že jsem doma, jsem byl úplně v pohodě. Všiml jsem si ale, že někteří moji kolegové se na mě dívají překvapeně, já sám jsem byl tímto postojem překvapen. Nevidím totiž nic zvláštního na tom, aby otec zůstal doma. Muži mohou zůstat doma a zároveň pracovat.''

,,Ženám by pomohl transparentní trh. Pořádá se tu málo soutěží, zakázky od velkých firem se organizují na vyzvání pro pár studií. Potýkame se s minulostí. Mnoha mým známým padají zakázky na stůl jen kvůli kontaktům z minulosti. Kdyby byl trh transparentní, šanci získat zakázku by měla samozřejmě měla žena a stejně tak I muž či smíšené studio.''

,,Když se projdeš městem a jsi dost citlivá, je velmi zajímavé všímat si, jací lidé utváří město. V jakém prostoru jsou, jak se pohybují, jak se oblékají. Jak spolu komunikují. Kdo se na koho dívá, kdo se naopak nedívá. Business centrum vs. bezdomovci v centru. Tím pohledem můžeš odhalit hodně.''

,,To, co říkám, říkám klidně, vědomě, naprosto jednoznačně. Ve spolupráci s architekty, když mě osloví, kvůli těm zeleným kuličkám, okamžitě signalizuji, že nebudu mluvit jenom o zeleni, ale o projektech, prostorovém řešení, o grafickém vyjádření. Nebo v architektonických soutěžích budu jako spoluautorka. Napřed jsem se střetla s tím, že na mě koukali. Pak to nebyl problém. Je potřeba si tu pozici vyjasnit, ne vykřičet, ale vyjasnit.''

,,Bringing this project to the end was a very political act in its truest sense. I have attended several meetings of different committees at the City Hall; I have listened to insulting comments from different members. Some claimed it was a violation of their rights that we obliged them to read biographies of women that they were not interested in. The other comment was that we were supporting further distortion of the city with unnecessary construction. However, along the way, I have also been supported by a number of people; feminists who worked either in the City Council and / or the City Hall, but also ordinary employees and our partners.''

,,Later on, men extracted me, coming and asking me how I was doing, whether it wasn’t too much on me and so on. At some point I got tired of being told that I was tired. I started answering them. I wasn’t tired; on the contrary, I was filled with energy.''

Woman’s Rights to the City. Amman in Context. Myriam Ababsa

Male guardianship (qawama) of female family members is not only a tradition but is inscribed in the law. According to the Jordanian Personal Status Law (no. 36, 2010) a male blood relative (wa ̄li) has the right to have guardianship of women. If woman is unmarried, under age of 30 or previously married, she must have male guardian. Upon marriage a woman is transferred from her father’s custody to her husband's. In Jordan woman's rights to housing are connected to her status as a wife or a daughter. If the father dies the brothers have the right to sell the house in which the mother and sister(s) are living. Consequently, the fate of a woman depends on the quality of the relationships she haa with male members of their family. In the case of divorce, a woman only has the right to housing if she is nursing or has been granted custody of the children.

''Placemaking is so concrete. You are talking about a very specific thing - a very specific place, which is a good way of starting dialogue and getting groups that may be in conflict on other issues to cooperate and at least to hear each other out. Some of the lessons from conflict zones apply to places that are under a lot of pressure from gentrification, because in essence gentrification is conflictual.''

,,I think historians are starting to revisit books on 20th-century architecture in order to ask, for example, where are the women architects? Who worked in collaboration with whom? What does it mean to be innovative and ground-breaking? We are not as ready as we were to believe that one person is able to foster wide-ranging changes alone.''

,,For me it was totally ok, but I noticed some of my colleagues looked at me a bit surprised. Well, I was a bit surprised. I didn’t see anything weird about being father and staying at home. Men can stay at home and share the work equally.''

,,I don´t see any ´female´ architecture per se. But I see architecture as architecture of a political landscape that either includes women in discussion, discourse, production or not. That makes a difference.''

,,We are recreating women role models communicating Modern era. I find it especially important in our times when we stay isolated with our computers and phones. These were women who used to touch materials, people, dreams. So we communicate. Through the university, publications, platforms and events like this.''

''Some people say that for a woman who is successful, life „up there“ is cold and empty, because she has to be very hard. If it is really where it goes, then I prefer not to do this job.“

I don’t want to be successful as the system defines it. I want to feel alive and I like to speak with journalists, students or people in the planet because we need a critical mass of free thinkers who believe we can change the world. That we can do something to be happier, to bring back hope. I think change will come from the bottom up, but we need to build many examples.

I am talking about about Holistic Villages where people can live with values, the environment, the sun. We have to do it because most of today’s politicians, teachers, and authors live in a comfort zone.
