How can we help shape the next generation of architects?

Mentoring the next generation of architects is about more than sharing technical knowledge. It’s about building confidence, encouraging fresh perspectives and creating opportunities for professional growth.

From creating a supportive environment and learning from experience to giving emerging professionals meaningful responsibility, David highlights how everyday interactions can make a lasting difference.

He also reflects on his own career and how valuable mentorship could have been when he was starting out, reinforcing the importance of sharing knowledge and supporting others.

At SGP, this commitment extends beyond the practice through our RIBA Mentorship Scheme, Better Buildings school workshops and university guest critiques, helping aspiring architects gain an insight into the profession.
