Women’s studies officially began in China in the early 1980s.
Women woke up and began to take on larger roles in society as it grew.
Women had worked as architects for a century,
but it was not until the 1920s that Lin Huiyin was recognized as the country’s
first female architect due to the late development of the profession in China.
But nowadays, more and more female architects are occupying crucial positions.
Women’s voice in architecture includes a sense of awareness
within traditionally male-dominated design rather than being restricted to female-dominated design.
Architecture involves an ethical theory founded on feminist research that emphasizes human feelings,
relationships, and mutual care.
By presenting the various aspects of thought resulting from gender differences from the feminine position and reflecting the aesthetic sense of women.
Many Chinese women architects have raised their voices throughout history and the present.
1. Diversity of aesthetic systems
In a longstanding patriarchal society, the rise of women architects liberated women’s aesthetic tendencies that had been repressed, neglected, and lethargic.
The aesthetic discipline of architecture is now more diverse due to the aesthetic differences between the sexes and their respective modes of thinking.

Sometimes this link can be found in nature, other times it can be found in social history.

2. Incoherent spatial activity
Women are more likely to sense and encounter targets in space than men.
And they prefer to stay, discover, meet and interact there, unlike males who prefer direct targeting through space.
Through a human approach, people feel more at home in the structure because it emphasizes the importance of space for communication and human feelings.

Arriving, waiting, registering, crossing the pond, collecting steps, handing in a certificate,
