Resumen
En la arquitectura se considera el éxito en términos de publicaciones en revistas, obtención de premios o recibir un ascenso; sin embargo, es claro que tales indicadores de éxito están predominantemente orientados al sexo másculino. Este artículo considera la posicion de diferentes grupos que en la arquitectura tienen nociones históricas sobre el éxito. Con el fin de explorar esta idea, se encuestó a estudiantes, académicos y arquitectos para que respondieran ciertas preguntas relacionadas con el tema del éxito. Se argumenta que las reglas del éxito están pluralizadas y que dicha perspectiva constituye un reto para las interpretaciones convencionales y hegemónicas del éxito.
