Leading UK and international architects will meet at a
seminar hosted by The Housing Corporation with the
Royal Institute of British Architects to discuss their future
involvement in affordable housing design.
The event will take place at the RIBA Portland Street
HQ on 3 March 2008, and will be addressed by RIBA President
Sunand Prasad, Housing Corporation Chair of Investment, Sir Duncan
Michael and Chief Executive Steve Douglas. The event will be chaired by
Dr. Richard Hill, Housing Corporation Director of Investment.
Over 50 leading and up-and-coming practices, including some
internationally renowned names from within the architectural community
are attending the invitation only event. A wide ranging debate is
expected.
Housing Corporation Chair of Investment Sir Duncan Michael
said: "We are aiming to engage the interest, support and participation
of outstanding architects in shaping England's housing for the next
generation. Participation of top architects in the past has been
somewhat lacking, we are confident that this forum can help to break
down barriers and encourage more of the leading firms to get involved."
