Welcome to the successor of the Directory of African American Architects. This new site promises more data a broader reach and the best possible accuracy currently available. If you had a listing in the previous directory and entered it prior to February 2021 when NOMA became the steward then you'll need to create a brand new profile. Now is the perfect time!
There is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the moment; the time is always now. James Baldwin
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution
June 2026 update of African American Architects As of June 2026, there are 2,781 reported African American Architects. By gender, this is 740 women, 2,040 men, and 1 non-binary person. This is currently a mix of entries from the former Directory of African American Architects (DAAA) and entries in this Directory of Diverse Architects and Designers (DDAD). We encourage anyone who was listed in the DAA to provide their information in the new DDAD as it was not possible to move that database to this new tool. We will continue to verify and cross-reference to ensure the number is as accurate as possible.
The Directories of Diverse Architects and Designers is the child of the Directory of African-American Architects, and is a project of NOMA, the National Organization of Minority Architects. The DDAD's goal is to catalog, educate and enlighten.
