Welcome to POC in Architecture
Creating social impact and supporting the next generation of creatives
Welcome to People of Colour in Architecture CIC. We are on a mission to empower the next generation of underrepresented architects while shaping a more inclusive and equitable architectural industry.
​
With only 1% of UK architects being Black and 8% being Asian, the representation gap is clear amongst the remaining - and we’re here to bridge it. Through mentorship, community and meaningful support, we provide tools, opportunities, and safe spaces for POC in Architectural designers to thrive.
​
Together with a community of aspiring architects and professionals we’re building a profession where diversity isn’t just celebrated - it’s the standard.

Mission Statement
At POC in Architecture we are dedicated to closing the representation gap in the industry and ensuring that underrepresented voices have the guidance and opportunities they need to thrive.
We believe that diversity isn’t just about equity - it’s a catalyst for innovation and creativity. By championing inclusivity, we aim to enrich architecture with fresh perspectives, bold ideas, and transformative solutions that better reflect the communities we serve.
​
Out work includes one to one mentorship, workshops and networking, advocacy and awareness and much more. Through collaborations with architecture practices, universities, and industry leaders, we’re breaking barriers, redefining norms, and building a profession where diversity is no longer the expectation - its the standard.
