The Architect in Practice, 11th Edition

Product Information

Our creativity is not limited to traditional analogue processes, but we harness the latest technology to create immersive experiences using virtual and augmented reality as a way of developing and communicating our designs.

contractors engage key members of their supply chain in the design process when their contribution can create added value With the use of cutting-edge virtual tools such as VR and AR, we are able to delve into fully immersive environments to explore every area and aspect of a project. We find this to be an immensely powerful tool, one that can provide a deeper understanding of the project and can offer greater efficiency with decision making. RIBA Jobs is one of the most popular job boards for architecture and design-related roles. Remember to bookmark RIBA Jobs to view our listings of Part 1, Part 2, and Apprenticeship roles. value for money and competition are maintained by effective price benchmarking and cost targeting, by knowing what a project should cost, rather than through lump sum tenders based on inadequate documentation They love their work, have fun doing it and are proud of what they do. Not only driven by what they build but also conscious of how they build.The process alone often brings out new design ideas for discussion, and we encourage all projects to be developed in this way, from feasibility to delivery, we find this approach encourages collaboration throughout, something we believe benefits the project as a whole.

Throughout its many editions, The Architect in Practice has remained a leading textbook used in the education of architects. While the content of the book has developed, the message and philosophy has remained constant: to provide students of architecture and young practitioners with a readable guide to the profession, outlining an architect's duties to their client and contractor, the key aspects of running a building contract, and the essentials of management, finance and drawing office procedure. The eleventh edition follows in that tradition. The text has been brought up to date to ensure it follows the new RIBA Plan of Work 2013 as the guide to the architect s workflow. In addition, a number of changes to standard forms of contract were made with the publication of the JCT 2011 suite of contracts, and the RIBA Standard Form for the Appointment of an Architect 2010 (2012 Revision). These new forms are fully covered. In addition, the opportunity has been taken to reorganise the layout so that the content flows in a way that is more consistent with current architectural practice, and to deal with the increasing use of BIM. RIBA Study Architecture Well includes a summary of the different routes to qualifying as an architect Whilst we may be newly formed, we see our ambition as our core strength, and we seek to continue to push the boundaries with what a young practice can achieve when working collaboratively with specialist teams. So, whilst we haven’t as yet had the opportunity to be involved in the design of an airport, the approach to all our building projects is very much focused on sustainability, reusability and inclusivity as fully integrated aspects of everything we do.ARCHITECTS IN PRACTICE is a London-based, RIBA Chartered Practice creating ambitious, playful and environmentally conscious buildings. As a young practice, their work is diverse, progressive and constantly evolving. They aspire to uncompromised architecture, specialising in residential, education and community-led regeneration. Throughout its many editions, The Architect in Practice has remained a leading textbook used in the education of architects. While the content of the book has developed, the message and philosophy has remained constant: to provide students of architecture and young practitioners with a readable guide to the profession, outlining an architect's duties to their client and contractor, the key aspects of running a building contract, and the essentials of management, finance and drawing office procedure. In more prosaic terms we are huge fans of the architecture of Peter Zumthor. His ability to create places and spaces that are simultaneously monumental and subtle, serious and playful and of a locality yet internationally regarded is truly inspirational. It seems to us that the future of the architectural profession is at something of a crossroads as we head into the 2020s. As an increasing number of projects become ever larger, they also become ever more complex. One of the great attractions of being an architect has always been the need to have an overview of an entire project, an understanding as to how all the disparate bits fit together, from works below ground to the choice of windows, and from the selection of the cladding to the choice of ironmongery… Should we become more specialist in our approach, offering an enhanced range of services on a more limited area of the build (in much the way that a façade specialist does) or should we continue to offer the considered overview, as the voice of reason, balancing cost and buildability against aesthetics and client expectations?

On smaller projects this requirement still holds true, however, what architects of the next generations will need to assess and consider is whether the same can be said on the increasing prevalence of much larger schemes. Having gone on hold earlier this year due to the pandemic, we are now looking forward to continuing with our Chimney Terrace project. This is our first venture into modular Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), which is something we’re very keen to push with our other projects. Working closely with the structural engineers and fabricators the journey so far has been very educational, and it has been exciting to witness how our BIM protocols have evolved and are now fully integrated into our wider daily workflow. RIBA London asked them a few questions about technology trends, augmented reality and their upcoming projects.
