What is the role for peak bodies, regulatory bodies, membership organisations, and peer collectives in improving wellbeing in architecture? What new alliances and initiatives are needed to effect lasting change?
This panel with Angelina Maallini Pillai, Cameron Bruhn, Tiffany Liew, Sonia Sarangi and Glenn Scott examines the possibilities that emerge when professional groups come together with common purpose, towards greater wellbeing for all – from the level of the individual, to practice, to systemic and structural change across the whole architecture profession. The session starts with personal experiences of the speakers, before moving on to the bigger picture.
