AIANY Women in Architecture Committee Meeting & Education Design Presentation

Safety and belonging in educational spaces play an essential role in the lives of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) students. Yet when designing learning spaces, these students often do not have enough voice. To create spaces where a diverse student community can flourish, we must understand how students truly see education spaces today–and find new ways to make students feel safe and included.

For the March Committee Meeting, the Women in Architecture is pleased to host a design research presentation by Margot Kleinman, AIA, an Associate at Gensler. After our monthly committee announcements, Maggie will share the research which led to the development of an educational vision framework, highlighting the student voices that helped create this process from a series of student engagement programs.
