We are honoured to share this amazing news with everyone today!
A huge step forward for our non-profit volunteer based organisation and growing community as it includes a donation of 1 million danish krone and the recognition and support of the foundation.
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 50 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.
How we practice
From activism to pro-activism
We organize a variety of activities to reach different audiences, creating space for open dialogue and breaking out of echo chambers. Our platform is always growing and adapting to changing needs.
Our activities include Written Work, such as publications and articles, Public Events, like talks, lectures, and panel discussions, and Community Activities for our members, including workshops, salons, and knowledge-sharing sessions.
