This Black History Month, we celebrate four pioneers whose work and leadership expanded who gets to design, build, and belong in architecture.

Norma Sklarek One of the first licensed Black women architects in the United States and the first Black woman to become a fellow of the AIA she led major projects with clarity and care and set a standard for leadership in architecture.

Louis Bellinger A Pittsburgh based architect who used design as a way to serve Black communities when the profession largely ignored them building spaces rooted in dignity and everyday life.

Beverly Lorraine Greene The first licensed Black woman architect in the United States whose career quietly but powerfully pushed against the boundaries of who was allowed to practice.

Julian Francis Abele One of the first professionally trained Black architects in the United States and the mind behind much of Duke University’s campus even though the work was not credited for much of his life.

The work still shapes the spaces people move through today and the futures imagined in design.
Happy Black History Month. 🖤
