While #PrideMonth is ending, we had a full schedule of sessions and events at #AIA24 related to the LGTBQIA+ community and how to best support their needs as designers and community members.
At Pride Happy Hour at AIA24, we asked attendees, “What does being out in architecture mean to you?”
This question was inspired by the book “Out in Architecture,” 📕 which is dedicated to bringing visibility to LGBTQIA+ architects + designers, propelling conversation into institutional change. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/e7muVZhM#AIA#Architecture
Meet the city architect of Kansas City, Missouri! 🎉

We ❤️ city architects.
That's why we have AIA's City Architect initiative! 🎉 Architects can provide sustainable solutions for complex issues, like affordable housing, that mayors face.
For the last several years, we've partnered with the United States Conference of Mayors to strengthen our relationship with local civic leaders. Last weekend at #Mayors24, AIA EVP/CEO Lakisha Ann Woods, CAE, and 2024 President Kimberly Dowdell, AIA, NOMAC, met with over 15 mayors to encourage the hiring or appointment of architects in their cities.
📢❗ We encourage local AIA chapters and members to meet with their mayors and civic leaders to discuss community needs and hire or appoint a city architect to address those needs.
