Also a Cornell trustee, she\u2019s a passionate advocate\u2014a leading voice on the importance of diverse perspectives in her field<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Joe Wilensky<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy very first presidency,\u201d architect Kimberly Dowdell \u201906 recalls with a laugh, \u201cwas around age seven.\u201d Then a member of her church\u2019s youth usher board, the Detroit native disliked the uniforms they had to wear\u2014and she made her displeasure known. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI learned that when you have complaints about something, and you articulate them, you get put in charge of the thing,\u201d Dowdell says. \u201cSo they made me president and said, \u2018Okay, go find different uniforms.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a little help from her grandmother, she took on the challenge and contacted local suppliers. The resulting uniforms were not only more aesthetically pleasing, but also allowed for more arm movement\u2014important functionality for the usher role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Says Dowdell: \u201cI just remember being like, \u2018Yeah, we got that done.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other leadership roles followed, from head RA in her boarding school dorm to president of her Cornell sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two decades later, Dowdell is director of strategic relationships and a principal at the global architectural firm HOK<\/a>\u2014and she has not one but two notable presidencies on her r\u00e9sum\u00e9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has led the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA) and, most recently, the American Institute of Architects (AIA)\u2014the first Black woman to hold the latter position in its 167-year history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was the first Black woman to lead the American Institute of Architects in its 167-year history.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The bittersweet nature of the achievement was summed up by the headline of a November 2023 New York Times<\/em> story<\/a> that reported on Dowdell\u2019s AIA presidency: \u201cA Black Woman\u2019s Rise in Architecture Shows How Far Is Left to Go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now based in Chicago, Dowdell traces her passion for her profession, in part, to the childhood moment when she learned about the sad fate of the famed Hudson\u2019s department store in downtown Detroit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the second-largest store of its kind in the world, it was for decades her hometown\u2019s social and commercial center, but it closed the year she was born. In 1998, the building was demolished\u2014part of the city\u2019s long disinvestment and decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dowdell was around 11 when she began to realize that sites like Hudson\u2019s represented an opportunity\u2014and while she couldn\u2019t fully articulate the aspirations it sparked, she says, \u201cThe gist was, if I can fix the buildings and the environment around them, that would help improve the way people feel about where they live.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Hill, she majored in architecture and spent a semester in the Cornell in Rome<\/a> program; she later went on to earn a master\u2019s of public administration from Harvard. (In 2022, she was elected by her fellow alumni<\/a> to Cornell\u2019s Board of Trustees, where she serves on the Buildings and Properties Committee.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While still an undergrad, she co-founded the Social Economic Environmental Design<\/a> (SEED) network, which connects the public with professionals who prioritize design principles that are community based and environmentally sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At HOK, she has done some hands-on architectural work\u2014including contributions to the Doha, Qatar, airport\u2014but her career has shifted toward the business of architecture, leveraging her keen leadership and organizational skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the national president of NOMA from 2019\u201320, she increased opportunities and access for women and people of color in architecture and exceeded her goal of doubling the organization\u2019s membership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At AIA\u2019s helm, she prioritized such issues as sustainability, adaptive reuse, and educating the public about the role architects can play in climate action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also grew mentorship programs, pushed for better salaries industrywide, lobbied on Capitol Hill, and expanded membership\u2014pushing it over 100,000 for the first time (a goal that was particularly symbolic to her as the organization’s 100th president).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has repeatedly stressed the importance of diversity\u2014and programs that increase access to the profession\u2014in what remains an overwhelmingly white and male architecture world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As she notes, only 25% of architects are women; just 2% are Black; and less than 0.5% are Black women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(There are only 600 Black women architects in the United States total, she points out: when she became licensed, she was the 295th.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During her time leading the AIA, Dowdell launched an initiative encouraging city mayors and other municipal officials to enhance architects\u2019 roles and to call upon them as key advisers in planning and design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI hope that this continues to spur more focused conversation and action toward really elevating design,\u201d she says of her overall advocacy efforts. \u201cA quote that I often share is: \u2018Architecture, at its best, elevates the human experience.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
