On Justice and Equity

Tracing Architecture

Various facets of the architectural profession in the United States are not flattering, and some of the most difficult to address is the lack of racial, ethnic, and gender diversity in the industry and policies that reinforce equity in the workplace. For this episode, we are building on the discussions from the joint NOMA Arizona and AIA Phoenix Metro panels held throughout the spring by inviting guests Shannon Rodriquez (of New York-based FX Collaborative) and Yiselle Santos Rivera (of HKS Architects in Washington DC) to share the progress they’ve made and the pitfalls they’ve experienced in their ongoing development of practices that strive for equity and justice.
