How can better architecture create more value in real estate, while also delivering better homes, stronger communities and more resilient places?
In this episode of Bricks & More, host Adrian Strittmatter sits down with Jay Morton, director at award-winning architecture practice Bell Phillips, founder of Architects for Change and President Elect of RIBA, to explore the changing role of architecture and how design can unlock long-term value across the built environment.
Jay shares her perspective on how architects can create value beyond the design of individual buildings. Considering masterplanning and placemaking, as well as the long-term stewardship of places, Jay explains why good design does not necessarily mean higher costs. Architects can work within increasingly complex constraints, and this episode examines why creating places that people use and enjoy should be central to the way we think about real estate value.
Adrian and Jay also explore:
- Why architecture should be understood as a way of creating long-term value, rather than simply designing buildings
- How good design can deliver more value without necessarily increasing costs
- Why architects need to understand construction and the wider development process to become part of the solution rather than simply responding to constraints
- How investment in regional cities and existing transport hubs could unlock development capacity and create new centres of economic growth across the UK.
- Jay's experience designing social housing in Newham, and affordability and access to housing are fundamentally connected to the economics of real estate
- The impact AI could have on the architectural profession and whether it could allow architects to reclaim some of the roles and agency that have moved to other consultants.
- Why collaboration across the built environment sector is essential to delivering better housing, infrastructure, workplaces and public spaces
Whether it’s the economics of good design and affordable housing or the future of architecture and sustainable construction, this episode explores how design can generate real estate value that lasts well beyond the completion of a building. Taking an in-depth look at the architects’ role of creating community spaces, this episode of Bricks & More proves just how important the built environment is in shaping and maintaining the places it creates.
