Building Black, Part 1: Celebrating Wisconsin’s Black Architects

The National Council of Architect Registration Board says Wisconsin has about 1,528 licensed architects. Of those, 11 are Black—just 0.71%. Several projects around the state aim to change that. We have a state chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects and the Hip Hop Architecture Camp. Additionally, several significant projects around the state are led by Black business leaders who have hired firms owned by or led by Black architects to be part of their projects.
