Updates and features from across RIBA as well as news, stories, and opinions from the wider world of architecture and the built environment
'We do ourselves a commercial disservice if we don't fish from a multicultural talent pool that includes both men and women.'
'I'd like architecture to lose some of its ego. We need to come down off our pedestals, get into communities and get our hands dirty.'
'The other students on my course were mostly from affluent, upper middle-class backgrounds and I felt like a misfit. I'm not sure how I made it through but once I've started something, I don't like giving up.'
'If you can design spaces that make people want to get up in the morning, then architecture can actually start to change society.'
'Diverse role models from different social and economic backgrounds are vital in proving that if you are incredibly passionate about what you do, you can make it as an architect.'
