Great to see the Architects’ Journal cover my recent Royal Institute of British Architects Awards Ceremony speech. Every architect I've spoken to since have expressed profound disillusionment at the state of their profession & in particular Royal Institute of British Architects meticulous preservation of the status quo.

At the Royal Institute of British Architects Ceremony last night I argued that:
- The once great architectural profession is broken
- Project viability cannot be allowed to continue to triumph over the planets viability
- We must prioritise BtR homes in Central London over market sale
- The NIMBYS are winning
I'm excited to confirm that I'll be joining Good for Ealing as their new Strategic Director of Economy and Sustainability in April!
Really great to see Olly Wainwright
