The RIBA Research Symposium 2009 Changing Practices turned its attention to the subject of the profession itself at a time when architects have had to look at and question the ways in which they operate. It was organised in four sessions:

 

• The Evolution of Practice looked at the history of the profession.
• The Organisation of Practice reviewed how practices are structured and managed.
• The Politics of Practice  explored the ideologies and belief systems that shape practice.
• The Future of Practice  examined other ways in which architectural intelligence might be deployed.

 

The keynote was delivered by Anne Lacaton of Parisian practice Lacaton and Vassal.

The symposium was convened by Professor Jeremy Till |and Dr Tatjana Schneider|.
