California-based spatial design collective SPACE INDUSTRIES<\/a> has collaborated with performance-based art practice ELL<\/a> to compile an extensive list of anti-racist, pro-diversity resources<\/a> for communities within architecture, design and construction. The continually updated list includes a range of events, articles, firms, pro bono services and social media channels that promote the cause and provide a platform for Black-owned businesses to have their voices heard and their talents showcased.<\/p>\n

Curated by Brenda Zhang, Kevin Bernard Moultrie Daye, Celeste Martore and F. Jason Campbell, the list is designed to help the AEC community take a pro-active stance in seeking racial justice and equity throughout the industry.<\/p>\n

Each of the list’s co-creators have their own perspectives on why such resources are necessary and beneficial to the profession moving forward. “The values of any society are inscribed into space,” remarks SPACE INDUSTRIES cofounder Kevin Daye. “The buildings, parks, streets and monuments that we choose to erect both materialize the ethics of the past and set the stage for the present. Shouldn’t we constantly question if they are still relevant for The Now?”<\/p>\n

Oakland-based environmental designer Celeste Martore points towards holes in education on Black history as one of the prevailing issues to resolve, in the realm of architecture and beyond. “As a student, were you ever taught about quilombos<\/a>? Wasn’t it part of your history curriculum? Required reading? Not enough time? Can’t get to it this semester?”<\/p>\n
