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.

Tonight, we’re hosting the hustings for the Just Transition Lobby, the informal powerhouse network of individuals and organisations dedicated to shaking things up in the built environment sector. 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!

Failed Architecture Failed Architecture Failed Architecture is a podcast on architecture and the real world. By opening up new perspectives on the built environment, we seek to explore the meaning of architecture in contemporary society. FA challenges dominant spatial fashions and explores alternative realities, reaching far beyond the architectural community. We combine personal stories with research and reflection, always remaining committed to the idea that architecture is about social justice and climate justice, pop culture and subculture, representation and imagination, and everything that happens after the building’s been built. Exploring History: Medieval to Modern 1400 - 1900 - for iPad/Mac/PC The Open University Ever wanted to understand the key themes driving over five hundred years of European history? In this album, architecture reveals the social, religious and economic fortunes of some of the most influential people between 1400 and 1900. By the end of the 19th century Queen Victoria presided over the vast British Empire. She looked out from London, the heart of her empire, with its buildings echoing Imperial Rome. Brussels’ architecture, like London’s, was also designed to show the world the power and imagination of its 19th century king, Leopold the 1st. Architecture was also used in the medieval period to show devotion to God or simply to signal wealth and authority. The wealthy French nobleman, Jacques Coeur, completed his imposing palace in 1450 and Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick’s chapel not only reflects contemporary ideas about death and salvation but also the status of one of the most powerful English noblemen of the 15th century.

Social housing and working class heritage - for iPod/iPhone The Open University Would you consider a dilapidated seventies tower block as heritage? In England, some social housing developments have already been given listed status, a level of protection usually associated with castles, monasteries and stately homes. Others are considered as a failed experiment by an outmoded welfare state, fit only for demolition. In this album, we see working class residents of one such estate fighting for its survival. By doing so, they may be challenging some of our fundamental assumptions and preconceptions about heritage. The album also contains academic perspectives from Rodney Harrison, Lecturer in Heritage Studies at The Open University; and Alan Powers, Professor in Architecture and Cultural History at the University of Greenwich.This material forms part of The Open University Course AD281 Understanding global heritage.You can discover something of what it's like to study the course by using the downloadable 'activities' files to explore post-war housing and its conse
