The success Volume I, spawned a second book with more stories sure to inspire. Latinas in Architecture and Allies offers another glimpse to the Latina and Latino experience in architecture. In 2026, Volume 3 was published.
These stories are written by young professionals, experienced architects, mothers and/or business owners. The authors have roots from the United States, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, Colombia, El Salvador, and Puerto Rico. They reveal a remarkable truth: Latinas possess a unique and unwavering grit. Some are daughters of immigrants; others arrived in the U.S. by choice, or driven by necessity in the face of natural disasters or civil unrest. Yet, across borders and circumstances, we carry ourselves with pride and determination —building architecture that is by everyone and for everyone.
