During BLex Week 2024, UMiami NOMAS celebrated the vibrant tapestry of Black excellence in architecture through a dynamic series of events. Aligned with our theme of Connection, Culture, Community, our programming aimed to inspire and educate by highlighting the enduring significance of acknowledging Black excellence within the architectural landscape.
NOMAS kicked off the festivities with a pre-Career Forum breakfast, spotlighting the invaluable contributions of Black architects to design while emphasizing the critical importance of representation in the field.
Collaborating with UMiami’s NSBE chapter, students engaged in design-focused activities at Carver Elementary’s Black History Month CookOut as part of our ongoing Carver Elementary Outreach initiative. This interactive engagement fostered creativity and community spirit, enriching both students and attendees alike.
Guided by knowledgeable experts, participants embarked on captivating tours and thought-provoking sessions aimed at preserving and honoring the historical significance of places like Overtown. These experiences underscored the imperative of safeguarding our cultural heritage for future generations.
Concluding the series of events, a distinguished panel discussion provided students with invaluable insights into diverse architectural journeys and postgraduate opportunities, empowering them to navigate their own paths with confidence and purpose.
