Looking Back, Looking Forward: Architecture, RIBA, and ARB
from Drawing the Line Hosted by Drawing the Line
In our final episode of 2025, we take a step back to reflect on the year, the conversations we’ve had, and how Drawing the Line has grown. We revisit key moments from past episodes, what we’ve learned along the way, and how the podcast has shaped our thinking about architectural education and practice. We also look ahead to 2026, sharing our ambitions for the podcast and why creating honest, accessible conversations within the profession feels increasingly important. Alongside this, we unpack the ongoing RIBA vs ARB debate, breaking down who does what, what each organisation offers, and the real costs of registration and membership. We explore why the system feels confusing for many students and early-career architects, and how understanding the difference between regulation and professional support can help you make more informed choices. Whether you’re studying, working in practice, or recently qualified, this episode is about reflection, clarity, and looking forward. Let us know your thoughts in the comments or on our social channels.
