What is Building Diversity?
Building Diversity is a non-profit organization based in Copenhagen, dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusivity in the built environment.
We believe that architecture is a collective effort that thrives on diverse perspectives and inclusive collaboration. Our mission is to advance equality and diversity in the architectural profession and the built environment through advocacy, knowledge-sharing, and community-building.
Founded in 2020 and officially established in 2023, Building Diversity is powered by volunteers united by a vision of a more inclusive and equitable future.
With over 70 members from more than 35 nationalities, our community brings together architects, sociologists, engineers, students, researchers, and professionals from both public and private sectors—all committed to shaping a more inclusive built environment.
