Last month, ACSA and AIA held their joint ACSA/AIA Intersections Research Conference in Austin, TX, January 9-11, 2025. Hosted by the University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture, the conference explored housing as a process, a product, and a place. The ACSA/AIA Intersections Research Conference coincided with the AIAS FORUM in Austin, creating an opportunity for each organization’s respective audience of educators, practitioners, and students to come together for a weekend of scholarly exchange. ⁠
⁠
The conference brought together over 139 attendees from around the world who joined together to speculate on, advocate for, operate within, and struggle with new housing paradigms. Visit our #LinkInBio to read the full conference recap!⁠

This Black History Month, join us in celebrating the illustrious architecture programs at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). ⁠
Of the 139 NAAB-accredited schools of architecture, seven are HBCUs. They are:⁠
—Florida A&M University (@famusaet)⁠
⁠
—Hampton University (@hampton.arch)⁠
⁠
—Howard University (@howard.architecture)⁠
⁠
—Morgan State University (@morgansap)⁠
⁠
—Prairie View A&M University (@soapvamu)⁠
⁠
—Tuskegee University (@tuskegeeuniversity)⁠
⁠
—University of the District of Columbia (@universityofdc)⁠
⁠
HBCUs are an essential part of making the architecture field diverse and equitable. These schools make up 5 percent of the NAAB-accredited schools but enroll 32 percent of the total Black student population in accredited and preprofessional programs. We are pleased to have these schools as ACSA Members and proud of their work in advancing opportunities for Black students.⁠
