Catch up with the RIBA

Great to catch up with RIBA’s Jack Irlam-Mowbray and Joe Ellis last week to share feedback on how Chartered Practices use RIBA services—and where there’s room to grow.

‍

We suggested that Chartered membership could benefit from a more dynamic, co-working-style space within Portland Place. Imagine small, medium, and large practices bringing clients—current and future—into the iconic building for meetings in spaces tailored for flexibility and quick customisation. This would not only increase footfall at RIBA but also transform it from a museum-like setting into a vibrant, cross-disciplinary hub of activity.

‍

We also proposed that RIBA amplify its presence on social media by inviting practices to showcase what they do—then link those stories to the “Find an Architect” page. It’s a simple but powerful way to boost public understanding of an architect’s value and help future clients connect with local talent.From our Part 3’s and newly qualified architects.·      PEDR sheets are hard work to fill in,·      Simplify the RIBA’s websiteThe RIBA also kindly shared information on forthcoming events and socials.
