Connecting People and Places

Historic England and the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust (since renamed BluePrint for All) collaborated to inspire young people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds to pursue a career in architecture. 

Students researched buildings that have significant importance for members of the BAME community. They found out how these places and buildings have shaped history and added value to their individual communities. 

How have Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities had a voice in the planning and design of sites that are significant to them?

Explore their contributions

The students, aspiring architects from BAME backgrounds, have used the Missing Pieces Project to share the first results of their research. Use the map to explore their contributions.

The recording and acknowledgement of these buildings showcase the positive impact BAME communities have had on the environment we live in.
