Creating the Office Culture to Lead Your Team towards Transformation
Date: 21 June 2018
Time: 6.30-8.30pm Venue: Build Studios, 203 Westminster Bridge Road, London SE1 7FR Price: £75 + VAT, concessions £45 + VAT Lecturer: Briony Lumb, Briony Lumb Associates As architects we are tackling some of society’s current and future challenges through the places and future legacy we create for people. We naturally resist change for a variety of reasons, especially when it's imposed on us, and this can cause uncertainty and unease. Learning to navigate and manage change successfully is vital to creating our sustainable future and build a healthy office culture based on trust and openness. A practice based on purpose only goes as far as it’s people are willing to carry it. In this interactive session, we explore how we lead this change whilst enabling your team with the capabilities they need to succeed through a transformation, instilling a culture of continuous learning, and creating inclusiveness, and how this leadership is vital to foster a truly creative environment in which your people can thrive. 
Public Relations for Architects
Session 1: 27 September 2018 Session 2: 4 October 2018 Time: 6.30-8.30pm Venue: Build Studios, 203 Westminster Bridge Road, SE1 7FP London Lecturer: Rob Fiehn Price: £125 + VAT, concessions 75 + VAT PR for architects is a two-part workshop about public relations in the built environment and how good communication can serve the business of architecture. These key skills are not often taught in architectural schools and so practitioners end up trying to figure things out for themselves, which can leave projects without a home in a competitive media landscape. Bad PR can also lead to problems with client relations and even develop unwanted reputations that can take years to undo. |
Date: 2 July 2018
Time: 6.30-8.30pm Venue: Future Cities Catapult, 1 Sekforde Street, EC1R 0BE London Speakers: Tom Lewith, Director, TDO Architecture Roddy Langmuir, Practice Leader, Cullinan Studio Richard Watson, Foresight Practice, Imperial College Architecture is often accused of being reluctant to embrace change. As other industries around it continue to evolve, what new approaches can prove to be disruptive for architecture? What does the future of the built environment look like? This talk will look outside the discipline and examine trends in science and technology that can help us think differently about the current state of architecture. From futures studies to microbiology, it will outline how speculative approaches across different disciplines can reshape the way we live today. |
MoA is pleased to announce the launch of The Directors' Club, a new programme that offers the opportunity for directors of small and medium-sized practices to share knowledge about how they run their businesses and tackle industry issues and opportunities.
Held 6 times a year, the Directors’ Club offers studio-visit discussions between directors led by an expert moderator. The sessions will create an informal social environment (held in a different practice each time), where directors can gain valuable insights from business experts and peers. The membership also includes access to MoA Academy sessions and public programming that is open to all team members. Recruiting
