Out in Architecture Part 1: Interview with Yiselle Santos Rivera and Sarah Woynicz

Listen Later

Understanding the lived experience of our clients and ourselves is essential to advancing our work as architects. In this interview, I speak with the masterminds behind the book Out in Architecture, a book dedicated to bringing visibility to the voices and experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community. We discuss identity beyond practice, the intersection of identity and practice and reclaiming space and identity. This is essential listening for anyone who wants to advocate for a model of practice that is inclusive and responsive.

  1. There is a difference between lived and adjacent experience. Don't assume that you understand someone's needs - ask.
  • When you fail to ask "who's missing?" you miss the opportunity to have a more intentional practice and do more intentional work.
  • Being a platform builder and a convener is important. When people come together, they can leverage one another's experiences.
  • Find or make your community. As you reach out, you allow others to be seen and find or serve as role models and mentors.
  • Be open to the serendipity of those who are put in your path.
  • Slow down to go fast. Frustration to get something done is itself a form of bias. When you slow down you can be more present and intentional. You  receive support and ideas from others by relinquishing control.
