Riding the Vortex: 2022 Whitney M. Young Jr. Award Winner
IN 2007, Kathryn Prigmore and the late Barbara Laurie created a session for the annual AIA convention called \"Riding the Vortex,\" where African-American women architects could connect and discuss their experiences in practice. The four women then built on the idea of a forum on race, gender, and architecture by continuing Vortex as a collective. At this year's AIA Conference in Chicago, Vortex won the 50th annual Whitney M. Young Jr. award, named for the civil rights leader who \"challenged the profession to pursue progressive values,\" according to the AIA. Since the founding of Vortex, the number of Black women licensed architects has doubled, but it is still at only 0.4 percent of all licensed architects.
