When Chris was asked to work with Andrew Weston for group projects at Leicester School of Architecture (for no other reason than they were next to each other alphabetically) they both realised that their skills dovetailed perfectly. They particularly bonded on environmental issues during the energy crisis in the mid 1970s which alerted the world to the need to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels. Their shared ambition made for a perfect business partnership and Weston Williamson was formed in 1985 after gaining valuable experience in the offices of Richard Rogers and Michael Hopkins.
Monday February 4, 6-8pm
CP Hart Waterloo Showroom, Railway Arch 213, Newnham Terrace, Hercules Road, London SE1
In the third and final in this RIBA series, David Nelson, Senior Executive Partner Head of Design at Foster + Partners; Ian Mulcahy, Principal at Gensler and Yasmin Al-Ali Spence, Director at Wilkinson Eyre, will share their insight and experiences of exporting their services abroad.
They will reveal the stories behind their international projects and share the successes and the challenges of working with clients in different cultures and a global context. The session will be chaired by our founding partner and RIBA Vice President International Chris Williamson.
According to the RIBA’s latest Global by Design report, one in five architects has considered working abroad since the EU referendum. But until now, international work has mainly been the preserve of larger practices, who are perhaps better able to cope with the regulatory environment and the costs of exporting their skills. There is, however, evidence of new and exciting opportunities for practices of all sizes, across many sectors, to spread their wings abroad.
