Our tiny home workshop was an incredible hands-on experience that brought architecture to life for our students. After an informative presentation on tiny homes, students divided into teams, each tasked with designing and constructing essential elements of the structure. Through collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving, this talented group transformed cardboard boxes into a remarkable tiny home!

HIGHLIGHT:
Ethel Bailey Furman was the first female African American architect to be licensed in Virginia. Her career started at a very young age, joining her father on his jobs as one of the first African American contractors in Richmond. Ethel struggled to receive basic architectural education due to discriminatory policies. She persevered, receiving an education through a private tutor and her family's knowledge and experience.
Ethel was confronted with intense racism and sexism in her career in architecture. Her designs were continuously rejected, but when submitted under a male co worker's name, they would be received with ease. She refused to accept this as her reality, she continued to submit designs in her name and because of her determination, she was extremely successful.
During her career she designed more than two hundred buildings. This consisted of single-family homes, churches, and chapels. Her design style was more modern for the time period, focused on practicality and efficiency. Ethel Bailey Furman's resilience and groundbreaking work not only broke barriers in a racially and gender-biased time but also paved the way for future generations of architects to follow in her footsteps (Gaglio, n.d.).
March is all about celebrating the incredible women who've shaped architecture. Let's shine a spotlight on them and celebrate their creativity, resilience, and incredible contributions to the built world.
