The team of architects which managed the construction was female-led, with nine out of the 11 positions performed by women.
A building in Sandton, Johannesburg's financial center, will become the tallest in Africa when it opens later this year.
Designed by South African firm Co-Arc International Architects, the Leonardo contains a mixture of office space, shops, apartments and hotel rooms. The architects chose to use thin sheets of Dekton, a super-strong material, for its exterior cladding. She added,"I really had to work hard to prove myself. It takes some personality. I really had to step up and speak out -- make sure that I was being heard by the men."Patrick McInerney, director at Co-Arc International Architects, said he hopes the Leonardo will offer a"beacon of hope" for architecture and development on the continent.
