David Adjaye s gold sketch of multifaith complex The Abrahamic Family House and Mark Foster Gage s satirical plan for a Trump presidential library are among works for sale in an auction fundraising to support black women in architecture school.
Organised by architectural initiative ARCH, the auction launches today and will run for one week to raise funds for a scholarship programme for black women. To tackle systemic racism in the field of architecture and design, we need to make studying these subjects more accessible to aspiring black, indigenous and people of colour (BIPOC) architects, who have historically been underrepresented and under-supported, said ARCH, which stands for Architecture for Change.
