The education is rigorous and the licensing process lengthy; the industry is volatile and compensation lags behind other professions. All architects make a huge investment to be able to practice, but additional obstacles are placed in the way of women and people of color. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eStructural Inequality\u003c\/i\u003e relates this disparity through the stories of twenty black architects from around the United States and examines the sociological context of architectural practice. Through these experiences, research, and observation, Victoria Kaplan explores the role systemic racism plays in an occupation commonly referred to as the \"white gentlemen's profession.\" \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiven the shifting demographics of the United States, Kaplan demonstrates that it is incumbent on the profession to act now to create a multicultural field of practitioners who mirror the changing client base. \u003ci\u003eStructural Inequality\u003c\/i\u003e provides the context to inform and facilitate the necessary conversation on increasing diversity in architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54239465439576,"sku":"9780742545823","price":112.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780742545823_dfc5c764-d540-40f8-9283-71e9a913db82.jpg?v=1770718550","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/structural-inequality-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
