Teaming Up For A Seat At The Table
"Strength in numbers. That hope and philosophy prompted nine Detroit-based female architects, architectural designers, and landscape architects to join forces last year in an effort to raise awareness of their work and the possibilities it represents for transforming Detroit.
Their name, The New School, is a loose and tongue-in-cheek reference to the New York Five, a group of “old-school” white male architects popular in the 1970s, and to the fact that, according to the American Institute of Architects, more than 70% of registered architects identify as male.
Members are Salam Rida of 9XS Design, Laura Marie Peterson of 1+1+ Architects, Kimberly Dokes of Dokes Design Architecture, Elise DeChard of END Studio, Mollie Decker of Subject Studio, Laura Walker of Other Work, Ujijji Davis Williams of JIMA Studio, Imani Day of RVSN Studios, and Torri Smith of ARC BAE." ~ Hour Detroit~
