Sabrina Klor appointed Chair as WIA launches transformative vision to reshape the future of architecture.

Women in Architecture UK (WIA) is proud to announce the appointment of Sabrina Klor as Chair and Anna Ifanti as Vice Chair, as it unveils a bold new vision to reshape the architectural profession through intersectional leadership, structural equity, and collective action.

With over two decades of experience delivering complex, multi-sector projects across global markets, Sabrina brings operational expertise and a track record of transformative leadership to WIA.

At the heart of this next chapter is a clear vision: a built environment sector that is equitable, inclusive and truly representative — where women’s voices, experiences and leadership are recognised, valued and empowered at every level. WIA’s mission goes beyond gender parity; it embraces the full complexity of inequality, acknowledging how race, class, disability, sexuality and caregiving responsibilities intersect to shape lived experience in the profession.

Joining her is Anna Ifanti, newly appointed Vice Chair, bringing deep expertise in both project delivery and inclusive leadership, as well as being a WiA Steering Committee member since 2019.

“WIA is not just a network , we are a Movement reshaping the profession,” said Sabrina Klor. “We want to create space for every voice, particularly those historically excluded from the architectural conversation. Intersectionality isn’t a buzzword for us. It’s a reality. If we want to build an industry that reflects the society it serves, we have to consider the full picture and take shared responsibility. We know the barriers. We’ve lived them. This next chapter isn’t just about naming the problem; it’s about designing the solution. Through advocacy, mentoring, policy reform and storytelling, we’re redefining how we build, work and lead — and calling on the sector to take shared responsibility for building a truly equitable profession.

“This new strategy is testament to the dedication and commitment of the past and current Board members of WIA. We are all volunteers who come together to make a difference and help shape the future generations of the profession.”
