A message from RIBA President Muyiwa Oki PRIBA – this week’s news ⬇️ “I am deeply disturbed to see this week’s reports of violence and hatred in communities across the UK. I know this directly impacts many of our members and the teams you work with, alongside friends and family. Racist abuse, intimidation and violence are corrosive to our society and our wellbeing, and present an irrational obstacle to building a society where all are afforded opportunity and dignity. While we still have a way to go to increase representation in architecture, the wealth of diversity in the UK’s cultural industries is what makes it one of the most celebrated in the world, and provides the skills and perspectives we need to address the big societal challenges only architecture can. We’re proud and thankful for the increasingly multi-ethnic and diverse profession of architecture and the teams you work with.”
