New Architecture Writers (N.A.W). is a free, London-based writing program for people of color, helping previously excluded voices change architectural discourse. In its seventh iteration, it launches a new platform for design criticism, with the goal of critical equity. The weekly newsletter is London focused but, as befits a global city, it has its eyes on the world. Featuring pieces from N.A.W’s extensive network of collaborators and alumni, as well as from more unexpected contributors from outside architecture, the tone is irreverent, approachable, and jargon free, aiming to be read and enjoyed not just by professionals but by everyone who uses architecture
