The Riba President’s Medals

Where is architecture heading in the years which lie ahead?

This is an exciting time to be an emerging architect. The greatest challenge is undoubtedly driven by the climate-change agenda. Architects have a huge responsibility to improve and develop sustainable architecture. The challenge is how architects can develop ways to weave carbon-efficient strategies into their designs

How will these increasing demands affect the future of our great industry?

In years to come, we will have to learn how to routinely produce holistically sustainable, built-environment design solutions that provide balance between the environmental, social and economic dimensions. The design question will continue to change and will provide an invigorating and rewarding experience for architects.

This supplement brought to you by AJ, demonstrates where the future of architecture is heading.
