How do we design for a world that keeps changing?
The Intelligent Architecture podcast brings together people, ideas and research to explore the questions shaping the built environment. From new ways of working to the forces changing our cities, communities and profession, we look beyond the obvious to understand what comes next.
Hosted by Scott Brownrigg’s Design Research Unit, each episode opens up a conversation with developers, clients, designers, researchers and thinkers who are challenging how we approach architecture - and what it can achieve.
Listen in, challenge your thinking and join the conversation on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music.
We’re joined by Martin Wright of Pure Data Centres Group and Scott Brownrigg’s Sam Stevens, Head of Advanced Technologies, to explore one of the most critical and often least understood building typologies shaping the 21st century: data centres. We discuss their growing role, the challenges they present and how they can be designed for the future.
Helen Taylor sits down with Chris Williamson, RIBA President, to explore a fundamental question facing the profession today: what does it mean to be an architect? Their conversation considers how the role is changing, the responsibilities that come with it and what the future of the profession could look like.
We’re joined by Victoria Thornton OBE, founder of the Thornton Education Trust, to explore pathways into careers in architecture and the built environment. We discuss how the profession can better engage with young people, broaden access to opportunities and support the next generation of architects and built environment professionals.
Continuing our conversation with CEO Darren Comber, we explore how Scott Brownrigg has remained relevant over the past 25 years through brand extension, diversification and the evolution of its services and sectors. We’re also joined by retired Aviation Director Chris Blow, who reflects on launching the practice’s aviation sector and his work in airport terminal design.
In this first episode, we sit down with CEO Darren Comber as Scott Brownrigg celebrates its 115th anniversary. We explore how the practice has evolved through major changes in the architectural profession, navigating industry challenges while continuing to grow as a leading, innovative and relevant global design practice.
Let's start a conversation.
