LGBTQIA+ Affinity Group

We are excited to share the two part installment of the "Where Are My People?" series; part one, "Queer in Architecture," which analyzes societal and discipline-specific metrics to highlight the experiences of LGBTQIA+ designers, architects, and educators, and part two, "Beyond Binaries" which explores the intersection of queerness and architectural practices beyond diversity and representation generalities.

Part I - Queer in Architecture: https://www.acsa-arch.org/resource/where-are-my-people-queer-in-architecture/

Part II - Beyond Binaries: https://www.acsa-arch.org/resource/where-are-my-people-queer-in-architecture-2/

Our qualitative analysis of the themes that emerged covered topics such as the importance of seeing and being seen, challenging the status quo, the connection between architecture and political power, and recognizing the reinforced binary ways architects and designers shape space.

If you were a part of this survey, we'd like to say THANK YOU! Your voices, as participants are what made this research authentic and provided great context for people to better understand the LGBTQIA+ experience. If you haven't, the survey is still open! You're welcome share your experiences to help us represent the connections the intersections of our identities impact our profession!
