The XXAOC (Female Architects of Colour) is an ongoing research project founded by Sarah Akigbogun.
Why the XXAOC? Architectural history is manifestly missing female architects of colour. Whilst the US has lots of data on this, in the UK we have only been recording data on race for 10 years. As such we do not know who many of our pioneers were. Who for example was the first Black female Architect? The XXAOC project wants to learn from the US and fill in some of these blanks.
