Responsible Architecture project

Dear friends,

This is an invitation to tomorrow's panel discussion on Design for Inclusivity at Aarhus School of Architecture.

Panel 5: Design for Inclusivity is part of the International Union of Architects (UIA) World Congress to be held in Copenhagen during the Summer of 2023. Check more info at the UIA Copenhagen 2023 World Congress website.

The slogan of the congress "Leave No One Behind" aligns with a lot of work I know we are all doing on redefining who those "no ones" are, and ensuring that our definitions include more than just the normative stance- to include the diversity of gender, ability, neurodiversity, age, race, ethnicity and socio-economy. No one should be left behind, but we need to explore who we really mean when we say that.

Join our pre-event hybrid symposium happening this coming Thursday.

Architecture is still a white-male-western dominated field, and we are here to change that!

Follow our Equality Collaborative and stay tuned for our upcoming panel series!

Responsible architecture is also about equality!

Hi everyone,

The Equality Collaborative is an independent, open, activist group of volunteer students and staff at the Aarhus School of Architecture. We work to broaden the discourse around equality in our school and community. We celebrate the unique opportunities of a diverse and inclusive society, no matter someone’s gender, sexuality, race, religion, or culture.
We recognise that there are still challenges with regard to gender inclusivity and other forms of discrimination within the architectural profession. We also recognise that gender is only one of the many intersecting ways in which people are excluded from being seen in and contributing to the profession and to society as a whole.

What is our role as architects in this?
How can we built a coalition of solidarity around issues of gender, equality, including non-binary and transgender people, as well as talking about sexuality, race, age, ability or economic discrimination within our profession? We hope that we can build up the kind of community we want to see in the world – a community of equal opportunity that welcomes and celebrates diversity, that cultivates solidarity with other peoples. Undoubtedly, architecture, urban planning, landscape plays an important role in such an endeavour. We don’t have all the answers, but we welcome you all to join the conversation.
