Incoming RIBA president Sunand Prasad has pledged to transform the RIBA into a 鈥渒nowledge community鈥� that will reach out to other professions such as town planning and engineering.

In his president鈥檚 inaugural lecture this week, Prasad argued that the traditional model of a profession as a tribe was 鈥渘o longer adequate, no longer fit for purpose.鈥�

He said architects鈥� skills now ranged from the minute scale of sole rural practitioners and conservation specialists to large commercial firms. He 鈥渇ully expected鈥� his new knowledge community model to adopted by RIBA council next month.

Prasad also made three more commitments as RIBA president. He said that he would work with other professions across the world 鈥渢o press for a global solution鈥� to climate change.

He said that he wanted schools of architecture to harness their design skills 鈥渢o contribute directly to their localities and beyond鈥�.

Finally, he said that the RIBA should press the government 鈥渢o champion patronage of good architecture that matches any from previous historical periods.鈥�
