DIVIA Award 2025 Nominees Announced

Today's announcement comes one month after “Mind the Gap,” the first conference organized by Diversity in Architecture (DIVIA), took place at Aedes Architecture Forum in Berlin. DIVIA's efforts to broadly promote diversity in architecture started with the recognition of women in the field, with Marta Maccaglia winning the inaugural DIVIA Award in 2023, and it continues with the 25 women nominated for the 2025 award.

The 25 nominees, listed below, were determined by DIVIA's international Advisory Board, made up of 15 architects, designers, educators, and other experts who were asked to name “women architects recognized for their innovative design approaches in urban living spaces and impactful contributions to their societal contexts.” The jury — made up of Itohan Osayimwese, Rahul Mehrotra, Martha Thorne, Odile Decq, and Sol Camacho — will select five finalists, with that announcement coming next month, and then the winner, who will be announced at the DIVIA Award Ceremony in May 2025.
