Decolonise Architecture

We create solution based approaches to tackle institutional racism within architecture and its education.

[Decolonise Architecture @DecoloniseArch]

So join us, in rebuilding the ways we see our past, where we are now, and how we can take it from here 📣

[Decolonise Architecture @DecoloniseArch]

Since founding, we've always been interested in making knowledge of our built world more diverse and inclusive. For us, this means both elevating the voices on the margins, and bringing these stories in a more accessible jargon-free format.

[Decolonise Architecture @DecoloniseArch]

Our built world is after all experienced by all, and has an effect on everyone.

In this new chapter, we are creating a collective platform to tell the stories of our built world that often remain untold, hidden, or even just forgotten - and we would love to share your stories!

New chapter, new look.

Huge thanks to @harshag_, @selasi_setufe & @MoTabarra who visited our London office this week to discuss colonial legacy and equality in Britain.

Architecture is a global cultural language. Then why do we limit our concerns to the Western world?

[Sunrise Movement 🌅 @sunrisemvmt]

Our government must stop funding state-sponsored violence at home and globally. We have to ask ourselves: why does the administration give $1.3 billion more to the Israeli military than international climate programs?
