Latest News from AIA
- An Investigation into Bias in the Architecture Profession The Elephant in the (Well-Designed) Room In partnership with The American Institute of Architects (AIA), the Center for WorkLife Law conducted a quantitative study of bias based on gender and race/ethnicity in the practice of architecture. This study reflects 1,346 architectural professionals’ responses to the Workplace Experiences Survey, a simple 10-minute survey that picks up basic patterns of bias, where bias is playing out, and its impact on outcomes. We found an elephant in the room: White men are having a different experience than all other groups in architecture workplaces. Women of color reported the worst experiences overall, with white women and men of color falling in between, but closer to women of color. Implications and solutions are discussed.
- Equity in Architectural Education Office and school cultures feed and reinforce each other, and long-standing traditions, viewpoints, and biases in academia are strong. Attaining an increase in diversity and creating a welcoming culture for all within academia accelerates progress towards equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in each sector of the profession. This supplementary edition asserts that organizational culture is the basis for achieving goals of EDI in each sector of the profession. Together, the guides and this supplement reflect the many ways in which EDI goals and means can be integrated into professional practice and the academy alike.
