Ben Derbyshire: Politics, ethics and practice.

Episode 33/2 of A is for Architecture’s features Ben Derbyshire, Chair of HTA Design LLP and  Immediate Past President of RIBA. We talk about Home Truths,
Ben’s 2022 book, published with Hatch Editions.
The book, so it states, is ‘a manifesto for professional practice in an era of multiple crises – in social, economic and racial disparity, in housing supply and
affordability, in climate change, in our emptying high streets and homelessness in our town centres.  […] setting out the essential ideas and likely future developments that aspiring planners and designers of homes and places need to know about and bear in mind for their work, [reflecting on] the foundations for contemporary practice.’ You can watch Ben give it some on the NLA website here.
