As 2024 draws to a close, we want to thank you for being part of RIBA and for supporting our collective work to shape a better built environment.
This year has been particularly significant for RIBA as we progressed our House of Architecture programme. Thank you to everybody who contributed to the various phases of consultation throughout the year to help shape plans for the future of our world-class collections, digital offer and the refurbishment of our London building.
We also made strides in our professional knowledge and influencing work, co-establishing a sector-wide network to launch the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard, proposing a new fiscal delivery model for social housing via our Foundations for the Future report and developing our training and assessment programme for the RIBA Principal Designer Register, responding to the new requirements of the Building Safety Act.
Supporting our members, who are the driving force behind great architecture, remains at the heart of what we do. In 2024 over 550 local events were delivered in collaboration with our members across England and Wales attracting over 17,000 attendees. Internationally, we also brought together representatives in Hong Kong, Singapore, China, the USA and across Europe, while celebrating the 15th anniversary of the RIBA Gulf Chapter with exhibitions in London and at Dubai Design Week.
2025 gives us much to look forward to as we strive ahead with House of Architecture plans – making architecture more accessible for everyone and galvanising our mission to support architects to make the future a better place.
We wish you a restful break and a wonderful year ahead.
