- Business
Understanding how specific tools can amplify the voices of the underrepresented and support them to progress is a vital part of making the profession more inclusive and diverse. A panel discussion featuring Rebecca Lovelace, founder and Chief Dot-Joiner at Building People; Neil Onions, CIC founder and CEO at Beyond The Box Consultants; and Deborah Williams, founder of The Women’s Association share ways in which they support underrepresented groups. From facilitating the navigation of support services, creating projects with communities, and creating strategies to fund support groups that drive forward diversity and inclusion, they discuss their roles in shaping solutions to improve the architecture profession. In a pre-recorded interview, Danna Walker, Architect and founder of Built By Us, discusses how Built By Us prioritises bringing diverse voices to the table to achieve better outcomes in the built environment, and is led by the ideal that a world built by all, is for all.
From 18 to 26 November 2021, our annual Inclusion Festival took the form of a dedicated radio station, broadcast live from the bookshop at the RIBA's HQ in London.
Marsha Ramroop, former BBC journalist and the RIBA's Director of Inclusion & Diversity, hosted a lively mixture of music, live and pre-recorded interviews, discussions and debate - featuring over 90 special guests from across the worlds of architecture, design, arts, culture, and sport, as well as key leaders from the worlds of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI).
