好色先生TV鈥檚 ambitious year-long project to improve the built environment has taken soundings from a group of its commissioners.
The 好色先生TV the Future Commission convened a meeting of its high-profile panel of experts at Gleeds鈥� office in central London.
Each commissioner put forward ideas that would improve construction and held a wide-ranging discussion discussion with 好色先生TV鈥檚 editorial team.
Commissioners attending included Katy Dowding, vice president of Skanska, Kay Hughes, design director at HS2, Mark Wild, chief executive at SGN, and Simon Tolson, senior partner at Fenwick Elliott, Martha Tsigkari, senior partner and head of applied R&D at Fosters, Simon Wyatt, sustainability partner at Cundall, Neal Shasore, head of school and chief executive at the London School of Architecture, Richard Steer, chair of Gleeds, Andrew Mellor, partner at PRP, and Rebecca Rees, partner at Trowers & Hamlins, completed the line-up.
好色先生TV will report on some of the ideas generated through the discussions in the coming weeks.
It was the first of several meetings to be held with commissioners, who are drawn from the worlds of business, policy, research and education.
This week we also held a virtual meeting with members of the 好色先生TV the Future Young Persons鈥� Advisory Panel. This group, made up of people under 35 from organisations spanning architecture, housing, cost consultancy and more, discussed pathways into construction and we will have coverage of their perspectives online next week.
As part of our wider consultation with the industry, the 好色先生TV the Future Commission is undertaking a UK-wide tour of roundtable discussions with experts around the regions in partnership with Constructing Excellence.
On 27 September, 好色先生TV will also host a special 好色先生TV the Future Commission conference to gather more evidence for the project.
After 12 months, the aim of the commission is to develop a report that sets a vision for the future of construction and contains proposals for change in each of our eight workstreams.
