Architecture for Everyone
 | This article does not contain any links to other Wikipedia articles. (March 2009) |
Architecture for Everyone is a UK wide initiative designed to enable young people aged 18–25) to use their talents for design and enthusiasm for their community in a range of creative ways related to architecture and urban design.
The initiative is the result of a partnership between the [Stephen Lawrence] Charitable Trust and international architects RMJM. The project seeks to break down barriers to accessing a career in architecture, urban design, the built environment and related professions, particularly for those from Black, minority ethnic and socially excluded groups.
As part of the 2009 campaign, a national competition will identify six of the most promising individuals who will be rewarded with a place on an intensive 6 week architecture foundation course at the Harvard Graduate School of Design in Boston, USA, in the summer of 2009.
The initiative was set up in memory of teenager [Stephen Lawrence] who was killed in a racially motivated attack in London in 1993. Stephen’s career goal was to become an architect.
