Positive and lasting change should follow the Grenfell Tower Inquiry and architects are uniquely placed to help, writes Tim O’Callaghan
The Grenfell Inquiry has been a grim spectacle for everyone in the architecture profession. It has revealed a familiar reality for many architects delivering projects within a wider culture, where we are increasingly marginalised and where the institutions and individuals who traditionally offered reassurance and oversight have been compromised or undermined.
Like many architects, we have had to question and reassess how we source and interpret the information and guidance that we rely on as designers and specifiers.
