Remembering #RichardRogers
23 Jul 1933 - 18 Dec 2021.
A year has passed since Richard’s death. He will always live within our hearts at #RSHP, as he continues to be a mentor to us. His architectural legacy and humanity will never be forgotten. We deeply miss him.
My other @RadioDacorum interview last night was with @_nicfew, who runs @Risearchitects, a prize-winning sustainable architectural business based in Berkhamsted. Here's a recording of our chat: https://t.co/jARxk9w5C5
A really beautiful library and worthy winner of the #Stirlingprize, gorgeous materiality and detailing. I just wish we could have a library of this quality, rigour and beauty open to the public in every town.
Fourth time lucky! The winner of the 2022 RIBA #StirlingPrize is Níall McLaughlin Architects for the New Library at Magdalene College in Cambridge. Read the full story and reaction here 👉 https://t.co/bqfuuWBDyk
Why is @RIBAComps promoting exploitative guff like this?
No project at the end of it & total cost to practices entering will be orders of magnitude greater than £50k prize pot.
Who is benefiting from this exercise?
How much is @RIBA being paid to run it?

Honestly being an architect is 95% reading ppl, or herding cats, or bldg depts asking for the same damn thing 27x bc they lost it, or getting shamed for not instantly knowing everything in the whole world, and then 5% drawing, then getting blamed for not drwg enough. Or too much.
😮😬😮 Going backward!! The gender pay gap has widened at almost half of the UK's largest architecture studios over the past year – https://t.co/GBbAuNbIXD (via @Dezeen)
@DanAtPlace I wonder how many companies attending have a #diversity policy? Might want to put it into action chaps. And has anyone calculated the carbon footprint of MIPIM?

@mwmoedinger Completely agree- I worked with a project manager who would write multiple page emails - but never phoned me!! PICK UP THE PHONE and have a discussion!
