1 COL LECTIU PUNT6 punt6.wordpress.com c.blanqueria 9 local Barcelona Roser Casanovas Adriana Ciocoletto Marta Fonseca Blanca Gutiérrez Valdivia Zaida Muxí Sara Ortiz Escalante We are a diverse group of women architects, urban planners, and activists interested in rethinking cities, neighborhoods and architecture in order to eliminate gender discrimination. We work to build cities that reflect the diversity of our society by creating inclusive spaces. Col lectiu Punt 6 is an organization that works from a gender perspective, and seeks to account for women's everyday life experience. This vision, inclusive with the rest of our society, considers the participation as an essential instrument in projects and sustainability as basic criteria of development. The women of Col lectiu Punt 6 have different origins and vital experiences, and also have different academic background: architecture, urban planning, sociology and environmental studies. Areas of work of Col lectiu Punt 6: PARTICIPATION We foster public active participation, and in particular women s participation, because it is essential to analyze and highlight everyday life experiences in the urban environment.
