Elina Emily Mottram, (1903–1996) was an England-born architect trained in Brisbane. She was Queensland’s first and longest practicing female architect, practicing and establishing her own business in Brisbane from 1924 to 1975. Mottram died at the age of 93, in 1996. ==Early life and education== Elina Mottram was born in 1903 in Sheffield, England as the only child of Arthur Mottram, a building contractor and stonemason. She arrived in Brisbane in 1906 with her parents and started school at Nundah State School. After finishing her studies at the state school, Mottram then undertook studies in Architecture at the Brisbane Central Technical College while simultaneously employed by architect Francis Richard Hall of Brisbane during the city’s 1920s construction boom. She graduated with a diploma in Architecture in 1925. Elina Mottram opened her own practice in an office in the T&G Building on the corner of Queen Street and Albert Street in Brisbane in April 1924. The Architectural Building Journal of Queensland announced that "Brisbane has at last a lady architect... we trust that she will get her fair share of public support". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elina Mottram」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
