We kicked off the festive season in the sweetest way possible - a gingerbread house building social!

No baking skills required but some teams did take their houses to new heights by cutting their gingerbread into more inventive shapes!

Thanks Ellen & Charlotte for organising.

His perspective sparked a thoughtful and engaging conversation among everyone in the room.

It was a fantastic way to start the day - good breakfast, good discussion and the chance to connect with peers from across the built environment.

It’s Wednesday, it’s lunchtime & our team has been running, it must be Runch!🏃‍♂️

Runch is our new weekly running club where the team heads for a 5km run around Victoria Park, London’s oldest public park.

It’s great for staying active, clearing our minds & boosting wellbeing.

[Ackroyd Lowrie @ackroydlowrie]

We enjoy taking time out together as a team so for our latest social, we tested our shuffleboard skills.

We headed over to Three Colts Tavern for drinks, pizza & friendly competition! Congrats Ellen & Oli for having the steadiest hands, & thanks Charlotte for organising.

Thanks Fourth Space for inviting David Perez to be a panellist at the latest Negroni Talks event – Home Economics: Short Term Gain or Longer Term Pain?

[Ackroyd Lowrie @ackroydlowrie]

David & the panel cited examples from the UK, Barcelona & New York, asking that if the built environment is driven towards temporary accommodation, can we really create neighbourhoods and communities? And how does this shift alter the role of architect, planner & policymaker?
