The °ÄÃÅÍõÖÐÍõ is explicit about its commitment to making architecture and the broader construction industry more inclusive.
As part of this work, the °ÄÃÅÍõÖÐÍõ is committed to supporting architecture in becoming an increasingly inclusive profession, one that offers rich possibilities for a wide range of talented individuals.
12 role models explain how they have been able to forge careers within architecture. In doing so they send a message to others who may share one or more aspects of their identity – such as gender, background, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation or education – that this could be a profession where they might thrive.

The vision for the °ÄÃÅÍõÖÐÍõ Role Model project came out of the work of the °ÄÃÅÍõÖÐÍõ's advisory group Architects for Change; in particular, the Chair Danna Walker and group member Dieter Bentley-Gockmann.
Jo Bostock of Pause Consultancy shaped and directed the vision. Her wealth of experience, commitment and huge understanding of the issues of diversity and inclusion has taken this project to a level beyond our aspirations.
Pari Naderi has brought the project to life with her beautiful and revealing photography.
