Southgate & Sarabia Architects Ltd’s Post

On that rainy bank holiday Monday past - instead of getting out and enjoying the city, I stayed in and crunched some data on the AJ Small Projects Awards. Don't feel bad for me - I enjoy doing this kind of thing! Having pitched often for this award with various clients, it is useful to know some stats about the spread of projects that are selected - as there is about a 1/10 chance of hitting the shortlist. Half the battle with award submissions is having a good feeling whether you are likely to be shortlisted and knowing the odds. One thing that came up here - and I suspect it may be the case for all architectural award schemes across the country - is just how few studios in the North of England and the Midlands are submitting entries and getting shortlisted. Why are smaller projects outside of London, Southern England, and Scotland not finding an audience through award shortlists and press articles? This is actually an open question to Architects’ Journal and other awards organisers. Frances Williams - any thoughts? How can we make it better? #architecture #awards

Happy National Left Handers Day! According to a Harvard study, architects (and attorneys) are more likely to be left-handed than any other profession—no wonder these creative minds design the spaces we love! So, LinkedIn network, let me know: Are you a leftie? #NationalLeftHandersDay #Architecture #Architects #LeftHanded #AECMarketing

“How can we approach accessibility in more nuanced ways and ensure that architecture meets diverse abilities? How can inclusive design become an integral part of the standards and regulations architects work within-and how can architects help shape them?” “Inclusive architecture means designing buildings and spaces where everyone can thrive-regardless of physical or mental abilities. But how do we respond when building codes challenge the diversity we aim to embed in our society?” Thanks to Arkitektforeningen Building Diversity #inclusivearchitecture #mindthegap 2 december 2024 Abenra 34, 1124 Copenhagen, Denmark

What are the significant issues in architecture and how can we lead the profession on the global stage? The #Australian #Architecture #Exhibition – incorporating the #Venice #Architecture #Biennale #Exhibit and the #Australian #Showcase – is a unique opportunity to engage in #critical #conversations and discourse around Australian architecture and the built environment. Today, we find ourselves at a crossroads in history. Our industry is undergoing a transformation of unprecedented scale, rivalling the industrial revolution itself. The world is moving faster than ever before, and yet, it is highly probable that it will never move this slowly again. Our task, as leaders in our community is to adapt to the ever-accelerating pace of change and deliver solutions at the speed demanded by our planet and its inhabitants.
