The API Design Directory is a first-of-its-kind\u00a0public directory of U.S. based firms\u00a0owned and operated by API designers. This directory was assembled in order to link API designers to potential collaborators, clients, and media, and to create new opportunities for these designers. The ART workshop series will commence in August with an intergenerational conversation on API design; subsequent workshops will cover topics including barriers to API leadership and a vision for an American museum of API history and heritage.<\/p><div id=\"archi-2754977925\" class=\"archi-horizontal-in-content archi-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Horizontal responsive -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1313562808736279\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"4811561488\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p><em>A Rising Tide<\/em>\u00a0was launched in response to a set of challenges facing API designers: lack of visibility and opportunities for API design leaders, a growing activism among design students recognizing unique challenges for API students, and a climate of Anti-Asian rhetoric and violence. Asians and Pacific Islanders are entering the design professions in ever-increasing numbers, but there is a notable absence of API designers among industry leaders, including firm owners, partners, and principals. A 2018 Harvard Business Review analysis of national EEOC workforce data found that API professionals are the least likely group to be promoted into management \u2014 less likely than any other race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe founded\u00a0<em>A Rising Tide<\/em>\u00a0to be a resource for all: a platform to build a community of API designers seeking to shape a better world, a springboard for API designers just getting established, and a beacon of hope and inspiration for young people.\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Ming Thompson, Co-Founder of Atelier Cho Thompson<\/strong>. \u201cGrowing up, I didn\u2019t have Asian role models to look up to. Meeting Billie Tsien, one of ART\u2019s founding members, in my first architecture studio changed the course of my life; I saw that Asian women could be industry leaders, and that we could lead in a way that was true to ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs architects, design means giving form to function \u2013 but more than that, design is influenced by culture, shared narratives and experience. At BIG, we have over 40 nations represented and it is inspiring to see how the diversity of cultures can bring nuance to discussion and innovation in ideas. Looking at the larger field of our profession, there is an astonishing dearth of API representation and the perspectives and insights we can bring. For me,\u00a0<em>A Rising Tide<\/em>\u00a0is a way to strengthen that voice and by doing so, enrich our shared milieu for everyone.\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Catherine Huang, Principal at BIG.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany API leaders I know were used to being the only Asian in the room growing up and simply working hard and figuring things out on their own, myself included. Over the past few years, I\u2019ve seen the power of the collective to achieve together what might not be otherwise achievable on one\u2019s own. Motivated by the notion that \u2018a rising tide lifts all boats,\u2019 we started this group not only to encourage API leadership but also to see what greater things we can achieve when we rise together.\u201d<strong>&#8211; Christina Cho Yoo, Co-Founder of Atelier Cho Thompson<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As we look to the future to support new generations of Asian designers, I&#8217;d like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/\"><em>A Rising Tide<\/em><\/a>\u00a0to also be a place to remember and learn from our shared histories.&#8221;\u00a0<strong>&#8211; Megumi Aihara, Co-Founder of Spiegel Aihara Workshop.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cEach city, each enclave is an immigrant story, giving specific form to our constructed environments. Landscape architects by nature look back at the relationships between place and history. It\u2019s a story of constant emergence &#8211; of communities and environments becoming ever more complete.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"archi-1496622012\" class=\"archi-after-content
