AIA New York and nycoba | NOMA (NY Coalition of Black Architects|National Organization of Minority Architects - NY) share profound concern regarding the recent revisions to the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) 2020 Conditions for Accreditation. The proposed changes, particularly the removal of Section 5.5, “Supportive Environment/Social Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion,” compromise the core values that are foundational to our organizations and to the profession. We encourage you to learn about the revisions and add your feedback on the proposed changes by November 30: https://bit.ly/49cOEB8 (Read our full letter of opposition at aiany.org/NAAB)

Examining Urban Marginalization What happens when 3 black architects teach a graduate design studio? FAMU’s Fall M.Arch Design Studio explored space, urban form, and historical narratives of urban marginalization. Visiting Profs Julian Owens, Anson M. Stuart, AIA, NOMA, NCARB, PMP, and Leon Williams asked their students to remember architecture’s responsibilities to the edges of society and demonstrate how architecture is a lens for exploring broader social issues. FAMU SAET graduate studios must continue to drive the conversation. 🐍 How can architecture uncover and amplify the voices of marginalized communities? 🐍 What tools and methods can we use to reveal the hidden dynamics of urban inequality? 🐍 How can design education empower architects to create spaces of equity and inclusion? 👇 #ProfJulianOwens #ProfAnsonStuart #ProfLeonWilliams #HBCUarchitecture #ArchitectureForEquity #FAMUarchitecture

With apologies to architects…. Me holding a black board asking what colour it is: Humans: Black Architect (CEPT, SPA et al): Considering the materiality and the contextuality added to the sociocultural paradigm, I feel that humanity must move towards a collective future where we have questions that offer insights that can put to subsequent use by those who have a desire to juxtapose knowledge with sensorial. I can talk more but I have to go and decide the tiles of the bathroom of a house owned by someone who pays more to his driver than me as his wife has rejected thirteen options I have given to her till date. Engineer calling himself architect: Advance ka cheque bhejo fir dekhte hai.
