The First Woman Architect of the École des Beaux-Arts: Julia Morgan (1872 – 1957)

The first woman to graduate in architecture from the École des Beaux-Arts and California’s first licensed female architect, Julia Morgan designed over 700 projects—including the iconic Hearst Castle in California. Despite her incredible work, she avoided the spotlight. In this episode, we explore her legacy, the biography that brought her story to light, and the long-overdue recognition she received with the AIA Gold Medal in 2014.More on Julia Morgan: reidhall.globalcenters.columbia.edu/content/julia-morgan-1872-1957The Reid Hall History Project continues to grow, enriched by the contributions of numerous collaborators: reidhall.globalcenters.columbia.eduFind us elsewhere:Website - globalcenters.columbia.edu/parisGet our newsletter - globalcenters.columbia.edu/content/paris-newslettersInstagram - instagram.com/cgcparisLinkedIn - linkedin.com/company/cgcparisFacebook - facebook.com/cgcparisYouTube - youtube.com/@CGCParisHosts: Brunhilde Biebuyck and Marie DoezemaProduction: James Allen, Brunhilde Biebuyck, Marie Doezema, Krista Faurie, Charlotte Force, and Anthony ValetteEditing: Theo AlbaricMusic: Lili Boulanger’s Nocturne performed by Magdalena Baczewska and Sasha HeWith thanks to the Nadia and Lili Boulanger International Centre in ParisThe Columbia Global Paris Center is part of a network of 11 global centers of Columbia University in the City of New York, one of the world's leading academic institutions.
