The purpose of the following essay’s to study, analyse the different factors that affect and cause a lack of BAMEs in the industry of architecture. Over 90% of the architects in the UK, are from a white background. The population of the UK’s more diverse than ever been. Today, in the 21st century, we still face issues when it comes to the wider participation of different ethnicities in the industry. There are several physical and invisible barriers which are set against BAME, prior to their achievement in the field. The essay looks at some of these issues and analyses the statistics of the RIBA. As I belong to the BAME category, I would also share a piece of my story and the hurdles that I face, to achieve the final goal, of being an architect.
