Blueprints of Change: Access and Inspiration in the Built Environment

As part of our ongoing effort to encourage alternative pathways into the industry, BDP Belonging, our EDI network, hosted a dynamic panel discussion on 26th September in our London studio. The event emphasised the importance of social mobility and outreach, addressing the critical need for inclusive change within the built environment sector.

We were joined by a wonderfully insightful, multidisciplinary panel of individuals from within and outside BDP:  

  • Albert Williamson Taylor (Co-Founder and Director of AKT II)  
  • Titi Olasode (Architectural Assistant at BDP)  
  • Jay Singh (Building Services Apprentice at BDP)  
  • Sophie Draper (Learning Manager at RIBA); and,   
  • Steven Msowoya an Architect at BDP acting as panel chair.  

 

In the built environment, it is essential that design teams reflect the communities they serve. Diverse perspectives enhance creativity and ensure that our designs meet the needs of all. Engaging and inspiring the next generation from diverse backgrounds is therefore a collective responsibility, that can drive innovation and progress in the world we build together.
