Public Practice: Working in the public sector means my work has more impact where it matters

Making the transition from private practice to a local authority enables architects to influence the built environment for the benefit of the whole community, writes Antonio Rea
In October 2021, I went from being an architect at an award-winning practice, to being a local government officer focussed on community-driven urban projects.
Here’s my journey to finding a meaningful career.
As an architect with a passion for architecture, sustainability and placemaking, over the last ten years I have had the opportunity to be involved in unique and fascinating projects while working for both the private and public sectors. My background is rooted in private practice, where I honed my skills working on projects at different scales across multiple sectors, including masterplans, large urban regeneration schemes and new developments in sensitive locations across London.
