Diversity and equity are a powerful catalyst for positive change both professionally and creatively in the Architectural world.

The experience from peoples of diverse or underrepresented communities’ foster innovation and bring a rich tapestry of ideas to design challenges. The recent AIA diversity and inclusion survey report highlights the accomplishments and gaps within the profession.
