Paradigm Network

PARADIGM is a professional network for architects who are passionate about increasing Black & Asian representation within the Built Environment. We exist to support, encourage, and help talented architects from Black & Asian backgrounds in education and as they progress in their careers. We are also keen to promote the development of Black & Asian-led practices. We believe that encouraging a more diverse design team reflects the society we live in, and creates a richer society. Architecture can drive the potential to transform people’s quality of life, stimulate the economy, and enhance the environment. We aim to do this through knowledge sharing & best practice, lobbying ideas in the profession around education and career progression, strategic thinking with external national and international organisational bodies, and collaborative working with industry supporters.
