It provides data on the numbers of African Americans and Hispanics in professional architectural practice, as well as an examination of K-12 architecture education, popular media, and other feeders into collegiate schools of architecture. The report seeks to better understand the potential barriers that may limit an individual of color from accessing, pursuing, and succeeding in the architecture profession and the academy.
