The 2018 campaign #FacesofArchitecture celebrated diversity in the profession in the North East of England. Read more below.
The campaign, led by Regional Council member Nicky Watson, aimed to show the many faces and facets of architecture in the North East. 'This was about showcasing our region as a leader in embracing diversity, and promoting equality and inclusivity in the way we work in practice,' said Nicky.
'The blogs we have collated show our region’s rich diversity, highlighting why those in the profession were drawn to architecture, their achievements, their interests, and their roots. The blogs show how everyone and each practice is unique and different, and demonstrates equality, diversity and inclusion in its own way.'
