Interesting life, meticulously referenced, no copyvio obvious. - I have a few suggestions for the article:
  • in the lead, say first that she is an architect etc ..., and only then the specific chair with the long name.
  • Clarify the middle initial somewhere, or move the article.
  • Have "Sabin" only the first time in a paragraph, say "she" otherwise (unless there's doubt whom"she" means), and consider to combine extremely short paragraphs.
  • In Awards: too often "received", - "chosen to receive" is not really different ;) - "awarded"?
I struck the first hook because I read "Sabin's hanging" (think about word order in the article as well), and too many numbers for my taste. If you prefer that content please rephrase it, - I'll watch. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:54, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
