This roundtable discussion will continue the conversations and issues contained in the recent Architect Victoria magazine issue, Migration. Women. Architecture, guest edited by Marika Neustupny, Mirjana Lozanovska and Maryam Gusheh with Helen Duong and Sonia Sarangi.
The round table will reflect on personal experiences related to migration and architecture, emphasise the importance of cultural diversity in the architecture profession, advocate for demystifying cultural differences, and shed light on the experiences, opportunities, barriers, and inequities faced by women in architecture, particularly those with diverse cultural backgrounds.
As practitioners, researchers and educators in architecture consider the urgency of contributing to a more inclusive and socially aware design practice; this conversation provides a platform for sharing migrants' knowledge and capacities and highlighting the creative potential of cultural exchange.
