The Multicultural Summit was designed as a replicable regional program encompassing a collaboration of multicultural architectural communities within a chosen urban environment. The first Multicultural Summit, entitled "Strength Through Diverse-Cities", launched at the Dallas Center for Architecture in September 2012.
Melissa Daniel, Assoc. AIA, got jazzed about the architecture profession during a summer high school enrichment program. But once she started studying architecture in college, she felt disconnected from what she was learning and how it was taught. "I struggled with being culturally different," Daniel wrote in a blog for the National Organization of Minority Architects.
Clippings
by Melissa Daniel I have a theory that the missing 32% is not really missing. I believe the 32% is actually recorded higher because licensed architects who identify themselves as women choose not to volunteer in architectural surveys, join AIA or be part of any architecture group unless such activities are driven by their employer.
I am at my first official face-to-face Diversity and Inclusion meeting since I was appointed, and I am amazed at the talent surrounding me. It includes the VP of AIA, a couple of FAIA's, a PhD, and a Hunt Fellow.
