This means that job hunting in the architecture field is about to get more challenging than it has been in quite a while, especially after the post-pandemic ease.

Are you geared up for this steep climb? Think of it as a marathon that you need to train for, maybe even with a personal trainer.

Now, I’m no personal trainer in the physical sense, but I can definitely help you flex your architecture muscles and get that portfolio ready for potential employers.

We’re on a mission to enact urgent change, and we need you to be part of it!

Remember when we made waves by electing the youngest, first worker, and first Black president, Muyiwa Oki? 🌊 Well, we’re ready to ride that wave of success to make even more progressive changes in the RIBA and beyond.

We strongly believe that the RIBA Council must truly represent the public and the architectural workers that form the backbone of our profession. We’re looking at you, students, associates, and recently qualified architects who make up a third of the total membership! 📣 No more being underrepresented and underserved! You’ve got a voice, and we’re here to make sure it’s heard.

This year, we’re stepping up our game, aiming to radically reshape the RIBA and eventually tap into the election cycles of other built environment institutes, like the RTPI, RICS, and more.

Our campaign – The Just Transition Lobby – is anchored around three key themes. And we’re super stoked to unpack these with you during the livestream.

Come join us as we break down barriers and build a brighter, more inclusive future in the built environment sector. Be part of the change, be part of the Just Transition Lobby! 🚀🌍

Don’t forget to check out our previous call to action, where we dive deep into the why behind our presidential campaign. Get ready, set, go!

You’re an enthusiastic Architecture Graduate trying to get in the club known as the “Industry”. From the outside, you see all the happy people, however, in front of you is a grumpy bouncer holding the entrance past the rope barrier.

“No UK experience?! Back of the queue!” “NEVER used BIM?! Hmmmph, I don’t think this is the right place for you” “Under 3 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE?!… Back of the line!”

“But but but… I have my portfolio with me?” “YEAH YEAH… MOVE ASIDE!”

And so you wait for hours, days, months. Watching all the people go inside. You see one of your friends go in quicker than you. How is this fair?!

It isn’t fair. And the bouncer doesn’t want to know about it. So what can you do?

I’m joined by Joe Maguire and Laurence Richards of the Architecture Practice Ackroyd Lowrie to give their insights on the current barriers to entry within the Architecture Industry as well as their top tips on how to speed entry into the profession.

So far we have been exploring Architecture in the Metaverse together. Sometimes this involves exploring new worlds using Virtual Reality headsets, a computer or a phone to explore different designs and creations.

I'm interested to know if AR/MR still has a role to play in enhancing the real world or if we should focus on building new ones in the Metaverse!

Some are an absolute job, with beautiful images and a great user interface which glides you from one project to another with a gentle touch.

The vast majority of Architecture Practices' websites on the other hand deserve to be taken to the Web-design JAIL for serial offences such as slow-loading websites, unclear menu structure, absolutely empty Archi-Jargon, HUGE images or even hidden contact details.

Is this some new fun, glamorous way of living that is very different from the student halls I used to live in many years ago? It sounds like it!

In my experience, this person usually takes great pleasure in telling you how excellent Dubai is every time you meet them. How many shops there are, the beaches, the buildings, the flights.

"Is it raining in London? Well, here..." Alright, I get it, it's nice!

I've never been to Dubai myself, or the wider Gulf, however, I've always been curious about what it's like to have an Architecture Career in the East.

Luckily, I am talking with Andy Shaw, who relocated to the Middle East in 2011 and has since set up his practice.

Join us today to learn more about what it's like to move to the Middle East and how it differs from practising Architecture in the western world.

Popular culture has traditionally been influenced by the designs of iconic brands such as Gucci and Louis Vuitton fashion houses, but the tongue-in-cheek parodying of counterfeit culture (known as Bootlegs) is a trend that has gained popularity in recent years. 

Through this popular culture, we can attract and enthuse young creatives to learn about architecture, and engineering either those choosing university courses or university students wanting to belong to a community of like-minded people.  

GLAM activities develop the tools, language and critical thinking required to create wearable architectures.  

GLAM is pioneered by Neil Pinder who has taught in a number of inner-city schools for over 25 years, working with London Open House for much of that time. He has been a trustee of Blue Print (formerly the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust) for the past 15 years.  

Currently Head of Product Design and Architecture at Graveney School in south London, where he introduced Architecture to the curriculum, winning various Open House competitions and being honoured as "Open House Teacher of the Year".

It’s been over a year since we returned to work. Before the pandemic, most Architecture Practices were working full-time in offices. Many thought it would be impossible to work remotely yet we powered through. Some companies have brought with them flexible working either remote or hybrid, while some are returning to work full time.

On top of that recently in the spotlight, we’ve seen several articles in the news that highlight frustration among Architecture Professionals for unpaid overtime, returning to work fulltime and stagnant salaries.

So with all that in mind, what will the future of work within the Architecture Profession look like for those who practice in the industry?

Join me in an open and interactive session where I will share my trends on where I see the industry going in the next few months as well as highlight your thoughts and comments.

Sometimes the job is out of date, if you can find it to begin with because the search function was coded someone who has never worked in your industry and sometimes you've got to hand over every bit of private data known to mankind to submit an application.

Should you be fortunate enough to be one of the lucky ones who gets an interview, perhaps you find that the actual salary of the position is ten thousand pounds less than what you are currently on or a two-hour commute from where you live.

Surely some of these must be useful and important if everyones' saying them right? So what is "BD" or "Business Development" and why is it essential to practising Architecture and building a business or your online profile? 

Luckily I am joined by Tyler Suomala who trained as an Architect and is a Business Development Specialist at Monograph who is going to help give us a few pointers in the right direction.

After all, I can see why many would think it would be appealing to work in real estate on the Developer's team or perhaps as part of a Main Contractor instead of an Architecture Practice.

Over the years I've seen several Architects successfully move client-side, and an awful lot that have wanted to make the jump but have fallen short of making the shortlist and given up.

My guest and ex-colleague Stephen Glands has helped a lot of Architects make this transition successfully, he is also used to my antics which makes him the perfect well of wisdom for us to pick his brains!

OK ok... that is unrealistic. Who would buy a tesla with the current energy rates anywho?! 

Perhaps your energy provider has sent you a recent energy plan renewal at 3,500,000% of the original, and you've thought "is there any other way to put my good skills to use to earn a few extra pounds so I can charge my phone!?" 

You may or may not be aware that some Architectural Professionals have transitioned into other jobs in different sectors such as Property Development, working for a Main Contractor or other creative industries such as journalism. On tonight's podcast, I am joined by Julia Adler (Senior BIM Manager at Mace), Bharat Pankhania (Senior Design Manager at Laing O'Rourke), Giorgio Lo Porto (BIM Manager at Mace), as well as the fantastic Michael Hudson (Digital Building Expert at Turner & Townsend) in an open and unscripted discussion. 

Join us where I will be asking our guests about... how the journey was moving away from traditional Architecture, if the working conditions and rewards are any different and if there is anything they miss after the transition. As well as any other interesting questions from the audience.

To help delve deeper into this ongoing quandary I am lucky enough this week to be joined by Sumita Singha, a chartered architect, author and teacher, with a passion for the environment, equity and ethics who received an OBE for services to architecture in 2021.

Keen to support the next generation of architects she has lectured on architecture and technical design for over 25 years in the UK and abroad. 

As part of seeing more inclusion and equity in the profession, she set up Architects For Change, the equality forum at RIBA, and chaired Women in Architecture as well as being a co-founder of Asian Architects CIC.

Her own experiences of disability have given me an awareness of the importance of patient-focused healthcare as well as becoming a  Non-Executive Director in the NHS for nine years.

Research in the area of Diversity and Inclusion shows that having a mix of people in an organisation is not enough to create better outcomes, you have to have an inclusive culture too. 

Some quick stats show organisations with inclusive cultures are 8-times more likely to have overall better business outcomes, 6-times more likely to be innovative and twice as likely to meet or exceed financial targets.

With that in mind, how do we start on this journey to become more culturally inclusive in the Architecture workplace? 

Marsha Ramroop was the first trailblazer of inclusivity at the RIBA as their Director of Inclusion and is the director of Unheard Voice, an award-winning consultancy for Equity, Diversity & Inclusive culture change in organisations using Cultural Intelligence.

For the few engaged RIBA members, this is an important moment that could invoke change. Equally, there are many members who perhaps have grown tired and jaded with the institute as of late and elections feel pretty pointless. 

Why do I say that? A bold claim? Well, the last election the turnout was just 13.2 percent. And to be honest, I can understand why - I've never felt compelled to vote historically before. 

Well, it's time that you and I need to wake up as it's a little bit different this year. Yes, that's right, in this election, there are three candidates running for the presidency. Two established and respected members of the RIBA council and board as well as a promising outsider called Muyiwa Oki. 

Who is Muyiwa Oki, what are his beliefs and why is he running this year? It's a good question, join me in an informal conversation to find out why should you vote this year if you've never voted before and ask him any questions.

Some words from Damon

Life began at 40. If you’d have told me a year ago that growth of my brain tumour was the best thing that ever happened to me, I wouldn’t have believed you! In fact, I’d have been petrified as well as angry and upset that there had been any post op growth! I’m nearly at the end of chemotherapy having already completed radiotherapy last autumn, and I’ve never been so happy and in love with life. I’m now on a mission to prove to myself and the world that we can do anything if we put our mind to it – I wholeheartedly believe this to be true. If you want to change the world, change the way you look at it, and you’ll be amazed at what starts to happen. Start by loving yourself unconditionally, and then the rest will fall into place, and maybe, just maybe, amazing things will happen….

Come and join me for the journey through my video diaries – I’d love to inspire others to tap into their inner strength

Featuring the Global Architects Alliance and Jason Boyle.

"Are you a Part I Architectural Assistant who is about to hand in your work or perhaps you’ve finished pinning up your work at the end of the year’s exhibition?

Soon you’re going to be going out into the big wide professional world and begin the search for your first job. It can feel overwhelming and stressful, I remember that feeling quite well. First of all, you CAN do it and with a little bit of help and guidance, I will try and make the search EASIER and less PAINFUL for you to endure.

Over the next few weeks, I will be doing a series of Livestream webinars that are OPEN for all and FREE. We are going to go through the process from the start, staring at a blank paper all the way to starting a new job.

Time for the first worker at the helm.

Earlier in the month we put out our Call to Action with an open letter and a form where Architecture workers could nominate themselves to run as part of our campaign. Well good news, we have four candidates who are working in the Architecture Industry.

These people are not company owners, they have worked themselves up like YOU and are full of ambition. 

Hannah Deacon:

Since 2019 I have been working as a Project Architect running multiple schemes through all design stages, including 2 projects currently on site. In 2021 I also became a RIBA Student Mentor for Oxford Brookes.

Everyday is a constant battle to convince clients and consultants that zero carbon construction is essential instead of a 'nice to have'. This is exacerbated when challenged on my authority and experience as a young woman in a patriarchal elitist environment.

My primary action as President would be to enact real change by making the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge mandatory and strip practices of their chartership if they are not showing real commitment to reducing climate change.

Benjamin Champion:

I’m an architect at Sheehan Nagle Hartray Associates and I qualified in October 2020. Last year I ran for a national council seat and got half-way through the rounds of voting, and I’m currently organising an event for the London Festival of Architecture called ‘Ask an Architect’ to raise money for charities tackling homelessness.

Muyiwa Oki:

Muyiwa Oki is an Architect in the Design and Digital team at construction consultancy, Mace Group. At his previous firm, Grimshaw Architects, Muyiwa was founder and chair of the Multi-Ethnic Group and Allies staff network and an external speaker and mentor for aspiring architects at the Grimshaw Foundation, which exists to encourage greater social mobility within architecture. 

In the wider industry, he’s known for presenting at Practice Clinics focused on EDI leadership and participating in panels, events, and radio programmes on behalf of RIBA. Also, a regular contributor to the next generation of architects as an Ambassador for the Mayor of London: Design Future London challenge. 

Muyiwa is also co-founder of a design-tech venture called Modulor, focused on making Digital Twins of spaces affordable.

Henry Pelly:

Henry is a Principal Sustainability Consultant at Max Fordham LLP, an employee-owned environmental design practice.  Henry is RIBA chartered architect and was the Youth Commissioner for Sustainable Development on the RIBA Ethics and Sustainable Development Commission.  He is intent on putting all the recommendations of the commission into action.

This is as fate happens we met, as when I went into recruitment leaving Architecture, Scott was one of my Directors!

Join us for a rough and ready episode late into the evening, battling technology, to have a no holds barred conversation about the Architecture profession and the underbelly of the recruitment industry.

Scott studied his Masters in Architecture at the Bartlett School of Architecture and his BA Architecture degree at Manchester University. His professional industry experience spans education, commercial and residential sectors, gained at award winning design practices including CRTKL, Austin Smith Lord and Sheppard Robson. 

Scott has also worked as a tutor at the Bartlett during his Masters. In 2005, he moved away from mainstream Architecture and joined an architectural recruitment company in London, recruiting Architects at all levels for the local market. After living in Australia for a short while and a 2 year stint as a Director for a small agency in London, Scott moved to New York in 2015 to shake things up and set up an office. He now identifies as a true New Yorker beeping in traffic and rushing around (pre-pandemic at least) with a pumpkin spiced latte in hand during the fall (aka autumn).

Scott's professional experience includes working for Clients such as BP, Royal Bank of Scotland and Manchester University. Scott also worked in Melbourne for a couple of years working as an architect for the Buchan Group, specifically working on the Star City Casino in Sydney.

Scott can advise on what employers look for in a potential candidate, noting the subtle transatlantic differences as well as advise on portfolio compilation and interview techniques. Over the years Scott's Clients have included Zaha Hadid Architects, Rogers Stirk Harbor, KPF and SOM. 

Although now based in Brooklyn, Scott tries to get back to Europe as often as possible (pandemic permitting!) combining his love of travel with his work where possible. Recently however, Scott has picked back up his love of skiing; exploring the delights of up-state New York and living proof that skiing is really like riding a bike - you never forget!

Here is the description from the episode:

Some people take a long and winding route to realize that architecture is the field for them. Stephen Drew is not one of them. He always knew that he wanted to be an architect. He did temporarily entertain the idea of becoming a doctor, but his love for drawing and designing won out. Even his friends always assumed that he would become an architect. 

Stephen was passionate about graphic design and geography, which is an unusual combination. He went to the University of Westminster – that was his first time in London. He graduated into the global economic crisis and was worried about finding a job. Encouraged by a friend (who is now a famous You Tuber), he sent out a large number of CVs and ended up landing a job in a top firm as his first job.

In today’s episode, Stephen talks about his experience working in recruiting for architecture firms. He explains what architects need to understand about recruiters and also talks about the ins and outs of finding a job as an architect. 

Stephen also discusses the project that he started during the pandemic, Architecture Social. He explains what it is, how it started, and why it’s interesting to young architects. Listen in to hear Stephen’s thoughts on the word community, what he thinks about the Clubhouse app, and his advice for architects applying for jobs. 

What You’ll Hear on This Episode:
 

  • What inspired Stephen to pursue a career in architecture
  • Where Stephen went to architecture school
  • What happened after architecture school
  • What Stephen is doing today
  • What the recruitment process looks like for Stephen
  • How Stephen feels about doing recruitment work
  • Architecture Social
  • What Stephen thinks about Clubhouse
  • The use of the word community
  • Stephen’s advice for aspiring architects
  • What Stephen knows now that he didn’t know then
  • The book that changed everything for Stephen
  • Stephen’s favorite resource, product, or gadget
  • Stephen’s best time saving trick
  • How listeners can find Stephen

Top Three Takeaways from This Episode:

  1. It’s important to understand the recruiter’s role.
  2. Understand what community really means.
  3. Become a better version of yourself.

Stephen’s Advice for Aspiring Architects:

“It always changes over time, but the things that I think are constant is that don’t worry about whatever other people are doing but hold yourself accountable and keep pushing yourself.

Favorite Quotes:

“Don’t doubt yourself too much.” – What Stephen knows now that he didn’t know then.

“A book that’s been really helpful is How to Win Friends and Influence People.” –The book that changed everything for Stephen 

“I would love to say it’s not a mobile phone, but the mobile phone is both a blessing and a curse.” –Stephen on his favorite resource, product, or gadget

“I’m not a list person, OK? So bizarrely, that frees up all my time because I’m not listening to a lis.”  –Stephen on his best time-saving trick

The term being professional is a term often used loosely and often used in cases where it is not correct. 

So what is professional? Let's explore the attributes of professionalism in architecture from competency, reliability and accountability to honesty, integrity and self-control. 

Being a professional involves flexibility and respect for others and must continue to learn and develop to keep your skills relevant.

"Hello! Having worked in the construction industry for over 25years, I now focus on leadership and career coaching for architects, designers, construction professionals and their organisations, to increase personal and business success.

I work face-to-face (London) and via Zoom.

My past experience includes varied roles in Architectural, Engineering and Interior Design practices that have given me the experience to understand the sector, the challenges and the way designers work. My most previous role was Owner/Director of Evolve Consultancy, a leading UK CAD & BIM consultancy that continues to work with many high profile UK firms.

While Ben is a fantastic Architect at Sheehan Nagle Hartray Associates, he also happens to be a technology enthusiast and the gamemaster of our Dungeon and Dragons group on the Architecture Social.

Join Ben and me in a no-holds-barred conversation about everything and anything as well as his motives to run for the RIBA Council.

This was fun, let me know your thoughts and also do check out Ben's election statement over on RIBA:

"I am a newly qualified architect. Over the past eight years I have worked in small villages, in London, and abroad. I have seen the ways architects are viewed by a range of clients and by varying cross sections of the public - which is not always positive. The recent uproar on behalf of architectural assistants demonstrates that this perception is not restricted to those outside the profession.

A common topic I have noticed in conversations with other young architects over the past sixth months is a frustration with the apparent impotence of the profession to influence the outcome of a building. It is my intention during my time on the council to work towards linking architects with the general public by providing a more public-facing aspect of the profession to de-mystify the process of engaging an architect.

The frustration with the structure of our education and the position of architectural assistants resonated with my own experience and has prompted me to try and provide a young professional voice to the council. There is a clear wish for change, which the current council is admirably and successfully addressing, and I have a strong desire to contribute."

Stephen and I both worked together for over three years, the perception of a recruitment consultant is not always glowing - however, I admired Stephen Glands' candid and helpful approach to finding the right position for people mid-career onwards.

In our conversation, Stephen shares valuable insight into the traits and techniques he has seen successful people use that have gone onto successful careers as well as what it takes to rise above adversity.

Stephen Glands's Biography

"Hello! I've been recruiting in the design and development space since 2000. Does that make me 'old and wise' in recruitment terms? You decide!

I’d hope that at the very least it means I know what I am talking about. I am fortunate enough to receive lots of referrals and recommendations from both hiring clients and the people I am assisting to find a new job, so I’ll take that as reassurance that I am doing something right!

I have two main streams that I operate in. The first is senior and executive appointments for people from design backgrounds. Anything from Associate up to Partner or Managing Director. The second stream is jobs for people who want to work outside of mainstream design, usually with a developer, main contractor, investor or property consultancy. These roles tend to be Design Management, Technical Management or Head of Design roles.

I seek input and information from others in order that I may advise them correctly. I don’t dress things up to be anything they are not so you’ll always get an honest and useful response from me. I take pride in having an informed perspective on the market so I am able to advise people on the best route to take.

After all these years in recruitment, I still love my work! I enjoy putting people in positions where they can have a positive impact on our built environment. I particularly like working on strategic hires.

Outside of work I like mountain biking, playing badminton, scuba diving, travelling to interesting places and eating out. All of which has come to a distinct halt whist I focus on bringing up two boys!"

Dominic has worked in architectural practice since 2001. He has a track record in the design and delivery of residential projects, and the ability to create and maintain positive, productive relationships with stakeholders, clients, and the wider project team. His experience in the residential sector, both with private developers and registered social landlords, gives him a broad base of knowledge and expertise in both design and technical areas.

 Dominic joined ColladoCollins in 2015, and now leads the teams responsible for later living and care projects. Following the publication of the Just Living book, co-written with research architect and specialist Carly Dickson, he has presented the research and findings at a number of sector-specific conferences and events, including convening one of the first full panels of older people to take the stage at a conference in 2019.
