Since the early 1800s, African Americans have designed signature
buildings; however, in the mainstream marketplace, African American
architects, especially women, have remained invisible in
architecture history, theory and practice. Traditional architecture
design studio education has been based on the historical models of
the Beaux-Arts and the Bauhaus, with a split between design and
production teaching. As the result of current teaching models,
African American architects tend to work on the production or
technical side of building rather than in the design studio. It is
essential to understand the centrality of culture, gender, space
and knowledge in design studios. Space Unveiled is a significant
contribution to the study of architecture education, and the extent
to which it has been sensitive to an inclusive cultural
perspective. The research shows that this has not been the case in
American education because part of the culture remains hidden.
