1. Considering where the profession is at the moment (imminent climate crisis, post-pandemic, bridging the gap between education and practice), why is collaboration important now more than ever?
2. How does collaboration impact the industry?
3. Should collaboration be a greater part of the programme during the university years?
4. What can be done to support a healthier attitude towards collaboration moving forwards?
Pride Road Franchise grew out of Founder Lisa Raynes’ refusal to accept that there was only one way for a woman to have an architecture career and a family life. She built her practice in the domestic sector, and then invested to turn her business into one that other ambitious architects wanting work/life balance can buy into. She’s had a seat on the RIBA Council (2015-18), been Chair of Women in Property NW and founded Manchester Curious, an urban architecture outreach festival. For Lisa a successful outcome is a happy client – and clear communication is an essential skill to ensure this. This means giving clients the information they need in the format that works best for them, whether in emails, zoom calls or Lego demos!

Adrian C. Alexandrescu is a qualified architect based in London. Collaborating with a group of architects and designers spread worldwide, he delivers projects that highlight the belief that architecture is about possibility.
Having collaborated internationally with innovative practices in Romania, Morocco, China and the UK, Adrian looks at the future of architecture and sees it immersed in the wilderness. He is driven by a desire to design as part of a natural ecosystem and believes that architects have the responsibility of engaging with ideas that ensure a sustainable future. His enthusiasm and interest in how people respond to their environment led him to undertake research and enter competitions for projects in Brazil, Ethiopia and the Netherlands.
Inspired by the work of creatives such as Massimo Bottura, Es Devlin and Constantin Brancusi, Adrian says that: "Architecture is a rebellious profession that constantly fights against the commonplace. Through the combination of fantasy and pragmatism, architecture has the power to improve our lives
