The Lawrence Legacy: Challenging Racism and Celebrating Diversity in Architecture

This lecture, as part of our AA XX 100 series that this year focuses on inclusivity, will be a conversation between Trustee of the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust Danna Walker, Stephen Lawrence Scholarship recipient and AA graduate Stephanie Edwards, and RIBA and AA Council Member Elsie Owusu to look at the legacy of Stephen Lawrence in the opportunities that the trust has provided to so many aspiring architects, but it will also be a moment to address the issues of racism and the lack of diversity still present within both architectural education and practice. As acclaimed author Toni Morrison said, “Racism is a construct, a social construct… but ‘race’ can only be defined as a human being.”
