At the AIA Convention in San Francisco, delegates pass a resolution that “the AIA take action to integrate women into all aspects of the profession as full participants.”

The AIA hires black architect Robert Coles, FAIA, as deputy vice president for minority affairs, to develop “a master plan for minority awareness” in concert with Leon Bridges, FAIA, and Marshall Purnell, FAIA, to establish the Commission on Community Services.


Judith Edelman, as head of the newly formed AIA Task Force on Women in Architecture, presents a report showing that only 1.2 percent of registered U.S. architects are women. At the time, only coal miners and steelworkers have a lower proportion.
Edelman (1923–2014) was a pioneer for women in architecture. In 1973, she had challenged the AIA to help, co-authoring a resolution, “Status of Women in the Architectural Profession.” The preamble noted, “In society at large we are in the midst of a struggle for women’s rights brought into sharp focus by the current feminist movement. AIA and the architectural profession have not responded to this climate of change.”
But there was, too, her acumen and legacy as an architect. With Stanley Salzman and her husband Harold Edelman, she founded Edelman Sultan Knox Wood / Architects. While much of the coverage on Edelman over the years focused on her advocacy, and rightly so, her politics and activism carried over into the types of projects she championed and designed, notably affordable housing.
Edelman opened doors for people both through her architecture and activism, says her friend Beverly Willis, FAIA. “We, as women, and the profession as a whole owe her a great deal of gratitude.”

Norma Merrick Sklarek, becomes the first black woman to be elevated to the AIA College of Fellows. When Sklarek (1926–2012) achieved licensure in 1954, she was the third African-American woman—after Georgia Louise Harris Brown and Beverly Loraine Greene—in the history of the profession in the U.S. to attain the certification. However, this is one of only a few instances when Sklarek was not “the first” during her trailblazing career.
In 1950, she graduated from Columbia University as the first black woman to earn a B.Arch. degree, and four years later, she became the first African-American woman to be licensed in her home state of New York. In 1960, after five years working for Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), Sklarek moved to Los Angeles to work for Gruen Associates, where she became the firm’s first female and first black director. (She was also the first African-American woman to be licensed in California.)
In 1980, Sklarek was the first African-American woman to be elected a fellow of the American Institute of Architects; and in 1985, Sklarek became the first African-American woman to form and run an architecture practice when she co-founded Siegel-Sklarek-Diamond with Margot Siegel, AIA, and Katherine Diamond, FAIA. She spent the last four years of her career as a principal at the Jerde Partnership.
But trailblazing did not come without its complications. Prior to Sklarek’s hiring at SOM, she received 19 job application rejections and was forced to take a junior draftsperson job in the New York State Department of Public Works. During her time with Gruen Associates, Sklarek was initially under intense scrutiny. In her later career, she told a story of carpooling with a white, male colleague who was often late: “It took only one week before the boss came and spoke to me about being late. Yet he had not noticed that the young man had been late for two years. My solution was to buy a car since I, the highly visible employee, had to be punctual.”

“In the last two decades, the number of architects in the U.S., according to Labor Department statistics, has roughly doubled. The number of female architects, less than 1,500 in 1970, now approaches 5,000. The number of black architects has grown from about 1,000 to 2,000, remaining at about 2 percent of the total.”

President George H.W. Bush signs the Americans with Disabilities Act, in part because of the groundbreaking work of Ronald Mace (1941–1998). Mace, who used a wheelchair after contracting polio at age 9, was a pioneer in the field of accessible design. A 1966 graduate of the design school at North Carolina State University, he “completed school as the result of the tenacity of my family,” he later wrote. “They devoted a large portion of their lives for the six years I was in school to ensure that I was carried whenever necessary through an inaccessible, and even hostile, environment. There was neither assistance nor accommodation made.”
The experience helped inspire the work that become his calling. In 1973, he helped develop an accessible-building code for North Carolina—the first of its kind in the U.S. and a model for other states. He was also instrumental in the passage of the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, which prevented discrimination based on disabilities.
In a speech he gave at a universal design conference in 1998, just a month before his death, Mace was still working to spur change: “We tend to discount people who are less than what we popularly consider to be ‘normal.’ To be ‘normal’ is to be perfect, capable, competent, and independent. Unfortunately, designers in our society also mistakenly assume that everyone fits this definition of ‘normal.’ This is just not the case.”

"The thoughtful essays in this publication should move us beyond the lamentations of what ought to have happened in the past 35 years to the kind of substantive action that can change architecture in the coming decades. …
The need to meet market demands, an understanding that different perspectives bring richness to professional discussions, and the simple recognition that intellect, creativity, and hard work are not the exclusive province of white males have diversified law and medicine while architecture has remained largely unchanged.

In 2005, law firm Holland & Knight published a report on diversity at the behest of the AIA, to help establish who was entering the field, who was succeeding, and why. One of the primary findings: At that time, comprehensive demographic data (on race, gender, sexual orientation) didn’t really exist.
The AIA’s own membership numbers cast the issue of diversity in sharp relief: At the end of 2004, approximately 2 percent of its members were Hispanic/Latino, 3 percent were Asian, 1 percent were Black, and 12 percent were women. The report also relied on more than 10,000 responses to a web-based survey, as well as focus groups and in-person interviews, to establish why women and minority architects were leaving the profession.
The responses were, in many cases, all too predictable: Women selected “personal/family circumstances” and “inflexible hours” as their primary reason for not practicing three times as often as the men did. And more than two times as many men as women completed the Intern Development Program in less than three years.

Anecdotally, it is known that most of these female principals and partners are sole proprietors or owners of small firms. This common wisdom is consistent with research studies of managerial demographics in the United States. While women occupy 40 percent of all managerial positions, only 6 percent of the most highly paid executive positions are held by women.”
