San Francisco’s Equity by Design Symposium Uses Data to Engender Change →

Architectural Record, November 3, 2016

According to the largest survey about gender equity in architecture to date, female architects with less than five years of experience were much more likely to organize office events or maintain the office library—and less likely to be involved with strategic planning or management—than their male newbie counterparts.

This and other findings were presented at the “Equity by Design: Metrics, Meaning & Matrices” symposium last Saturday. Both the daylong event and the survey were organized by the AIA San Francisco’s Equity by Design committee to identify factors that promote satisfying, long-term careers—for both male and female architects.
