We care about diversity in architecture. Our first step is to make women architects visible.
At Diversity in Architecture (DIVIA), we recognize that diverse perspectives are essential drivers of innovation, sustainability, and inclusivity in the built environment, reflecting a humanistic approach to architecture. We are dedicated to advancing equity and amplifying underrepresented voices in our field. While our vision embraces diversity in all its forms, we believe in taking purposeful steps toward this goal. Our inaugural initiative focuses on celebrating women’s achievements and contributions to architecture.
MISSION
The visibility of women in architecture and the broader field of urban planning goes hand in hand with their public recognition. Awards like the DIVIA Award can significantly accelerate this development. Our platform and the DIVIA Award aim to recognize and honor the work of women architects, promote equity between male and female architects, and raise awareness of role models for young women in the field.
