Jude Barber announces her RIBA presidency bid

Todays very exciting news.

Our practice director Jude Barber has announced her RIBA presidency bid.

Jude says;  ’My decision to run is driven by the ever-increasing climate emergency and the associated impact the public health crisis is having across society.

'This current crisis has shone a big, bright light on all that is (and was) either good or bad in the process of making of architecture and our need to better address these proactively with our clients and collaborators across practice, delivery and education. To face many of the challenges and opportunities going ahead we must harness our collective skills, abilities and voice as a matter of urgency, so we can positively support and influence each other in doing so.’

Jude wants the RIBA to have a ‘clear, strong voice’ that ‘best represented and included’ the views of all the members from across the UK and beyond.
