ARCHITEXX is a 501c3 non-profit organization for gender equity in architecture that seeks to transform the profession of architecture by BRIDGING THE ACADEMY AND PRACTICE. We are a cross-generational group of academics and practitioners, and our organization is open to all women-identifying people, allies, and those beyond the binary. We believe that seeds established in the academy and adopted in practice, are outdated models which perpetuate myths and unsustainable trends in the personal, private, and workplace group experience and public, client perception.
