A Decade of Tumult: A Profession in Crisis. / by Fakhry Akkad

I have been practising architecture in London for over a decade and since 2013, I have been working as an independent consultant in myriad companies of different sizes and profiles. This has given me a valuable insight into how disparate organisations approach similar challenges differently.

My career has also overlapped with almost unabated financial turmoil and uncertainty. I have come to the realisation that the architectural profession is in crisis and would even argue that the profession is dying. I intend to publish on this blog a series of articles to elucidate my point of view and to posit what I believe is a path forward to refresh the profession.
