A Letter from the Presidents on Race & Architecture

Conversations about racial equity have stimulated new ways of thinking about diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice. As architects, we have substantial work to do within our own profession to include, mentor, sponsor, and provide leadership opportunities for BIPOC architects. Our contributions to our clients, our communities, and our world suffer because of the narrow breadth of viewpoints and life experiences within our profession. We need to act now. Please be one the voices to help us create meaningful change.

Practice-Based Research

Architects are inherent problem solvers and research is baked into their design process. Matter & Opinion: Practice-Based Research will feature firms and individuals who will share successful business models, discuss barriers to adoption, and help define real value for research within the profession. This one-day virtual conference aims to illustrate the spectrum of what "research" can be and to present ways that architects can successfully implement research into practice and business.
