Hello I'd like to request some random headcannons about hellboy.

Random hellboy headcannons 10 count

He kind of self-conscious about his fighting skills because none of the other agents truly taught him to fight.

He hates wearing socks because he loses traction with his hooves when he wears them.

Of all the movies he's watched he likes to watch the princess bride because of how cheesy and basic it is. Ge also liked robin wright.

He's More of a pie person than a cake person. He likes peanut butter pies, mudslide pies, and the old-fashioned cherry pie. He makes sure to pile on the whipped cream.

Hellboy really likes to listen to jazz music whenever he has the time. He also really likes to listen to the 30s music because that's what he was introduced to when he was younger and it reminds him of his dad.

He also has one of his dad's shirts and/or coats from when he passed just to have him in memory. Whenever he said he pulls it out and looks at all the holes and such from cigars.

Hellboy is a pan (fight me) he truly likes a person for being a person and doesn't mind what they want be sexually.

He subconsciously knows how to speak Latin. Don't ask him to speak Latin when he's conscious but every now and again when he's sleeping he'll speak a bit of Latin and have no memory of it.

Surprisingly enough hellboy cuts his own hair. He doesn't trust other people to touch his hair especially since they see him as a monster. He never gets to go outside so he learned how to cut his own hair.

Hellboy's most prized possessions that he owns is a small little dagger that him and his dad crafted when he was younger. He has his initials and carved in the dagger but it's hidden in a drawer.

I adore your Hellboy sleeping with his s/o post! Could you do one for Abe, please? It would be much appreciated! 💙

Abe Saipen Sleeping with his S/O Headcannons 10 count

Abe isn't the best when it comes to sleeping arrangements. if you're not able to sleep in the water it's a bit more difficult to try to sleep with each other but you to try to make it work.

It works one of two ways.the first way you tried doing it is a bit getting out of his tank for a few hours. He dries up enough so that you two can share bed together. the downfall to that is that he eventually does have to go back to the tank.

The second wave being a bit sad and a bit weird. You end up pressing a bed to his tank which in a way works. The sad part is you don't get to cuddle as well as you want to. Abe is able to feel your feelings though and enjoys having your company even though you two are technically apart.

The best way all-in-all is for you to just to take naps with each other. They're short but you still are able to cuddle with Abe. He likes the short little naps because Abe actually really doesn't sleep much. You just lay on him and he reads.

If you can't sleep very well he reads you his stories. They usually bore you to sleep because they're about monsters that you've never really heard about and it's just a biography of them.

If you had the ability to breathe underwater that is a totally different Ball Park. You two would be sleeping with each other almost consistently. The bprd eventually even had to make a bigger tank for both of you to sleep in and even living together.

It didn't really know how to take in the whole idea of having his significant other sleep with him. It seemed a bit taboo to him because most people see him as taboo or a disgusting creature. When you told him that you wanted to sleep with him he was a bit shocked.

In a way he was also thrilled to have somebody at least like him. The texture of a skin was definitely something to get over but after a while you forget the texture of your skin and just focus on the warmth of his body.

He likes to play music while he sleeps and that's another thing to get used to. Granted it's classical music and should be able to calm your mind but it's still background noise.

While you're sleeping he make sure to tap into your senses every once in awhile to make sure that you're having good dreams. He tends to wake you up when you have a bad dream and catches him quite early before you even realize that you're having a bad dream.

[cat-man-daimio]

Loved your post about sleeping with your s/o for Hellboy and Abe, so maybe one for Daimio :D? That would be soooo lovely

Ben Daimio Sleeping with S/O Headcannons 10 count

Most don't know this about Ben but he hates sleeping alone. He's used to sleeping with all his brothers in the army or just sleeping with pets are such. now that he's out of that circuit he much prefers to sleep with you.

Another thing that most people don't know about Ben is that he is a ritual before he goes to sleep. This is beyond the whole taking a shower, using essential oils, or listening to calming music. All that does help though.

He does tend to get a bit anxious when he sleeps due to the bad nightmares and such. He didn't really know what else to do except for follow his ritual to peaceful sleep. Eventually you just bought him a weighted blanket to help him with his anxiety.

He much appreciated that weighted blanket and it has been much used. He uses it even when he's not sleeping. Makes it a little bit more difficult to cuddle with him at night but you're glad that he's getting a little bit more sleep than he usually does.

He's definitely a midnight snacker kind of person. It's usually something small like fruit or chips or something that won't fill them up before breakfast. Sometimes you join him and and actuality make a whole meal before breakfast and call it brunch.

For some odd reason he likes to hold hands before going to sleep. It just reassures him that you're still there. It's a part of his ritual. The next part would be him kissing you on the cheek before going does sleeping saying good night.

Did I mention essential oils? He does invest in some essential oils to help him sleep. He really does think those things work and most of the time they usually do. Especially the migraine sticks and lavender to help him sleep. He's got you hooked on them too.

He doesn't have full-on conversations but he does mumble in his sleep. it's kind of fun to poke fun at him while he's still asleep. He doesn't realize it but you make sure to tell him that he mumbles in his sleep just for him to deny it.

Before he had the weighted blanket he much preferred that you slept on top of him. It weighed him down a bit and it also gave him that security that you were still there. Sometimes he does get rid of the weighted blanket and has you sleep on him when he feels a little more comfortable.

He twitches a lot in his sleep. Much to your annoyance as he tosses and turns. But that was before you know all the bad nightmares and such. You felt bad for him but neither of you were going to get any sleep. Sometimes you were able to cuddle him to calmness other times you just had to wake him up. He appreciates your efforts.

{A Hellboy x Fem!Reader Angst Oneshot.} 

Paring: 2019 Hellboy and the stunningly beautiful girl reading this. 

Rating: PG-13 (for violence, blood, swearing and death) 

Word count: 1704

Prompt: Hi my name is Annie and I like suffering! Just kidding, there wasn’t really a prompt for this one other then the fact that I’m an angst whore and I made the mistake of listening to the song “I Have Faith In You--Goodbyes” from the X-Men Days of Future Past soundtrack while I typed.

 So here’s this! 

{I made the stuff in italics a flashback so don’t get all mixed up on me. Enjoy the pain! And I’m sorry again!} 

The “crack” that filled the air was sickening. Time seemed to slow to a complete stop as every agent of the BPRD present turned to face one of their own.The snarling and gnashing of teeth continued as men and women with guns drawn fought back a slew of demons that had poured out of a small gate to hell, opened by two dumb teen witches in way over their heads. Alice turned, her face drained of all blood, and watched as a demon howled over a body before attacking the bleeding corpse.

Y/n.

The sound of raging flames and rushing wind carried Hellboy’s name to his waiting ears as he turned his sweat drenched face in the direction of the shout. His yellow eyes scanned the gory battlefield deep under a ridged brow; something was missing. Bullets filled with holy water and melted holy candle wax were fired in iron casings that littered the air as both demon and agents dropped like the ashes that fell all around them in the breeze. Hellboy watched as Alice screamed in a fit of rage at a lengthy grey demon drenched in blood. Bright flashing blasts left Alice’s gun every few seconds as the body of her victim writhed and convulsed from the onslaught of bullets.

That was when he took full notice of the blood. He followed the trail down the demons body to the now mangled human form at its feet. Before he even knew who the body was he felt an empty feeling rise in his broad chest. It was like a piece of his being had just been ripped away. He almost expected to find A bleeding gaping hole in his own body, but as he turned to fire yet another bullet, he found no wound in the place the pain resided.

  “Alice! You’ve got no cover!” He shouted, spit flying from his mouth. He watched as the girl threw a punch at an oncoming attacker.

  “Neither does she!” Was her only response as she dropped to her knees and slid through the mud and blood. Hellboy racked his mind, the word “she” flashing his brain like a wave of lights. He found himself turning round and round emits the fighting looking for one face. One stupid face. A face that would most likely be grinning in the middle of all this violence.

  “Y/N?!” The stronger of sound of his voice was all but gone as the girls named ripped through his throat like a knife through flesh.

  “Y/N?!”

********

“Lemme touch it.” The girl spoke as she reached out across the couch, Hellboy laughed a bit at her posing of the statement, but gladly dropped his large stone hand in her lap.

  “Smashing crap is easy enough, but jerking off is a nightmare.” Y/n laughed at his comment for a moment before opening his hand flat against her own.

  “What do you think it was designed for?” She asked, marveling at the difference in size their hands. Red shrugged,

 “Don’t know, don’t care.” He huffed, looking away from her, his body language now stiff. She noticed the change in his posture and leaned back into his couch.

 “Either way, it's pretty cool.”She stated pushing his arm back towards him. He lifted his hand and tilted his head to the side slightly, clenching it into a fist.

  “Yeah. I guess so…”

  “Well,” Y/n began sitting up from the couch and stretching a bit. “ Not that I haven't enjoyed our little therapy session thoroughly, but I should probably turn in. You know before Johann rats me out to your dad.” Hellboy chuckled,

  “Gas bag can deal with me.”

Y/n Smiled at him. A real genuine smile. He watched her eyes intently and saw the heart behind them. The heart that was able to look past his face and see him for who he really was. His mouth went dry as she walked towards him, slightly towering over his now seated form, and placed a soft hand on his shoulder. He looked from her hand to her face and let out a small breath as she leaned down and pressed her lips to the space right above his shaved horns. He relished in the feeling of tenderness he so desperately craved and allowed his eyes to drift shut. He sighed sadly as she pulled back and patted the side of his face;  his hair and beard tingling in her fingers.

  “Night beefcake.”  she spoke softly before grabbing her boots off the floor and heading for the door.

  “Night L/n.”  without another word she closed the door and vanished from his sight.

  “I love you…”

********

Hellboy’s eyes flocked to Alice as she held the mangled body in her arms.

  “Not the face. Not the face. Please not the face.” Was all that crossed his mind as the woman in Alice's arms fell to the side. His heart sunk as those e/c eyes looked lifelessly past him and into some distant Horizon. Red begin to run as Alice threw her hands over her ears with a shout. In an instant Hellboy was at her side, taking Y/n and into his own arms and checking on Alice. “Alice sweetie-- oh god-- b-breathe.” His hands grew a darker red as blood poured out of Y/n’s body. Tears stung his eyes as the teen beside him cried out.

  “Too many. Can’t tell if she’s one of them.” Pain was evident in her voice as she clawed at her ears. Hellboy turned back to the girl in his arms.

  “Hey! Hey!” He began wiping dirt and blood from her cold skin.  “Stay with us Y/n! Don't you fucking dare! You hear me?! Don’t you dare!” He held her face in his hands and shook her vigorously. Alice drew her gun shakily and began firing at the approaching demons from every angle.

 “HB!” She croaked, one hand on her weapon the other over her ear. “There’s no point doing this out here! There’s too many! We’re going to die if we don’t fight back!” She watched as her best friend became more and more frantic with his movements.

 “She’s not dead! I’m not leaving her!” His voice was raw and shaky as he kept his eyes trained on the slight rise and fall of her chest.

  “B-beefcake… is that you?”

Hellboy froze as he heard her voice fill his ears. Tears flowed freely now as he cupped her face in his flesh hand.

 “Hey baby girl. Hey, hey, I’m here. It’s o- it’s alright. Just keep those gorgeous eyes open and we’ll be in business, okay?” He forced a smile and sobbed slightly through it as he dared look up at the deteriorating situation around him. He then looked back down at Y/n when he felt her hand on his chest.

  All sound faded away as she looked up at him through half ladien eyes. He could feel her slipping from him and he hated it more than anything.

  “We… we had one hell of a run, huh?” She asked, blood trickling down her chin like there was a crack in her smile. Hellboy pursed his lips in anger as he rocked her a bit in his arms.

 “No, no, no. None of this “end of my time” speech bullshit. You’re gonna hold on and we’re gonna get you help. So shut up for once and let me get you out of here.”

  “I can’t even die without you coaching me through it.” She laughed in a sputter of blood. He winced at the sound and used his coat sleeve to wipe the red from her face.

 “I can’t lose you.” He spoke shaking his head ever so slightly. “I just got you. I’m not letting you go.” Y/n smiled up at him and placed a hand on his cheek.

 “I’m not going anywhere. Not until you understand how much I fucking love you.” The red giant was taken aback by her words, but felt them race through him like a shot of whisky. They filled every inch of his body and set his skin ablaze. His hand squeezed her face.

 “I know… Cuz’ I love you just as much dumbass.” He took a sharp breath in and suddenly became aware of the gunfire surrounding him.

  “HELLBOY!” Alice was screaming now as the demons began to over power her.

  “Don’t you dare move. Give me one second beautiful.” He removed his coat from his shoulders and placed it atop Y/n’s form. She smiled drowsily at him as blood began to seep through the thick fabric in a array of dots.

  “Thanks Red.”

 He drew his own gun and stood for a moment as Alice took cover at his feet. With a scream that could shake the earth, he openfired on the group of demons and mowed them down like they were nothing. After what felt like an eternity of fighting, the demons stopped and the guns were silenced. Agents began limping from all around to the spot which Hellboy stood, their bodies broken down from the hours of fighting. Red nodded at a few ensuring their safety before Alice’s voice broke the silence.

 “HB….” Hellboy looked to the girl on the ground and felt his soul break. Y/n lay cold and still in the teens arms; the blood flow stopped and her eyes shut tight.

********

“I don’t know what it is about these mountains.” Y/n began as she rubbed her arms in an attempt to banish the cold, “But they take my breath away every time I see them.” Hellboy smiled softly to himself and walked up behind her, removing the trench coat from around his shoulders.

   “It’s got to be the only good thing about having the base in Colorado.” He hummed, his breath fogging up before his face and dissipating in the crisp dusk air. Y/n looked to him as he reached around her and placed his coat around her human frame. She gripped at the fabric with a small smile as snowflakes began to stick to the brown color in a array of dots.

  “Thanks Red….”

She kissed him one last time before they were surrounded by hundreds of Riverdale students. As the two of them were pulled up by Justin and Olivia, Claire heard people chanting Dylan's name and couldn't help but join in.

Amelia wore a long-sleeved white turtleneck underneath her cheerleading uniform. White low-top sneakers with white laces were on her feet.

The game started. A Riverdale student got the ball. He was the shooting guard. Darcy, Riley, Rachel, Brad, Chris, Justin, Courtney, Erica, and Doug stood up, cheering for him as he ran down the court and threw the ball into the net.

The game continued. Chris got the ball.

Chris was wearing blue Nike basketball shoes with white laces, blue knee-high basketball socks with two horizontal gold stripes on the top, blue basketball shorts with two gold vertical stripes on each side, and a sleeveless blue basketball jersey with a v-neck, two gold stripes on the collar, the word Timberwolves emblazoned on the front in gold letters with white trim, his last name emblazoned on the back in white, and the number 26 emblazoned on the back in white.

Chris was an excellent point guard. He was in the middle of every play, every pass, and every assist without ever dominating the court himself. He snuck past defenders and kept them on their toes with how quickly he could become unpredictable. Within just a few minutes, he had gotten 5 points.

A few seconds after halftime came to an end, a defender plowed into Christopher's side to get the ball, and the force of the impact is so strong that Christopher was knocked into the sidelines.

Rachel winced. "Fuck. That looked like it hurt."

The whistle was blown for an obvious foul.

In the end, Chris walked away with nothing worse than a twisted ankle. He sat on the bench for the remaining 5 minutes of the game.

Hi, I read your post about Cirque du Freak. If that movie was rebooted, what would your fancasts for the characters be? Thank you 🤗

It’s been a couple of years since I picked this series up, and have actually thought of picking it up again for the past few days. So, I’m really just going off of the characters who pop into my mind from memory.

Mr. Crepsley:

Maybe it was because I had seen Underworld around the same time I started reading the books, but I always imagined Bill Nighy as Mr. Crepsley. I know in Underworld he was a villain and he played Victor so well, but he also is capable of playing more gentle and lighthearted characters. The movie In Time comes to mind. I think Mr. Crepsley was a good mix of dark, firm, but also lighthearted which I think Nighy could pull off really well.

Darren:

I have to admit that as an adult, it was harder to come up with an answer for Darren, because everyone I had pictured in the past for his part is now an adult as well. However, I did just finish season three of  Stranger Things, and Finn Wolfhard came to mind. Darren is a thoughtful, awkward, and relatable character and I think Wolfhard has the range for that as seen in both Stranger Things and in It.

Steve:

I’d really like to come up with both an actor for younger Steve and adult Steve (since Steve would age faster in the series than Darren), but I can only think of an adult. I think Cameron Monaghan would be a very good Steve. I can’t help but think back to his first appearance in Gotham where he at first plays a soft young man who one wouldn’t guess was guilty of murder to the Joker character he played. I don’t think Steve is unhinged as the Joker is, but Cameron could definitely play someone who is supposedly “natrually evil.”

Debbie:

This is mostly because I’d really like to see Quevenzhane Wallis in more things, because she’s very talented and I feel like people are starting to sleep on her. I mean, it’s obvious she’s got a good range, as she’s been nominated for an Oscar before. Plus, she’s obviously very adorable.

Kurda:

Ughhh....I came so close to be unoriginal here. So close. I almost put down Tom Hiddleston, but then another actor came to mind: Cody Fern. He played the anti-Christ in AHS last year, but as intimidating and threatening as he could be, he was also able to portray a softness so believable that some of the audience could actually sympathize with him. I think he could do really well in Kurda’s role, because looking at him, he doesn’t come off as someone who could throw down in battle, but he does look like someone who could keep secrets and backstab you but insist it was all for good intentions.

Alice Burgess:

I can’t imagine anyone but Constance Wu in this role. In Fresh of the Boat, she is almost all business, but she’s soft in Crazy Rich Asians she plays a romantic. I think both are required for such a mix of tough as nails and softy.

Mr. Tiny:

Christoph Waltz can definitely be happy-go-lucky and quite intimidating at the same time. If I were in charge of the casting, however, I would insist that he not wear a fat suit or gain any weight for the role. I feel like it can sometimes be too easy to associate villainy with fat, so I’d take creative liberty and change that about his character.

More on Waltz, though. On the surface, he is not threatening, but if he played it right, you’d get that eerie feeling from him, which is how I remember Mr. Tiny. There was nothing of his outward appearance that would scare the average person, but you got that vibe from him which is only appropriate from Destiny himself.

And for the life of me, I can’t think of the right person to play Evra Von, so if anyone familiar with the books would like to chime in, please be my guest.

Abe: it's official.

Hellboy Characters Sorted Into Their Hogwarts Houses | ScreenRant

Just thinking about Hellboy attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is anxiety-inducing for any educator. You think the Weasley twins and Harry Potter stirred up enough shenanigans? At least they didn't blast down any of the castle walls or shoot any of the dragons at the Triwizard Tournament with Big Baby.

RELATED: 5 Ways The Hellboy Reboot Is Better Than The Original (& 5 Ways It’s Worse)

Still, there's something incredibly fun about imagining HB, Liz Sherman, Abe Sapien and the rest of the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense all attending Hogwarts together, maybe as part of their defensive training or maybe to learn a bit of magic, which should come in handy up against Anubis, Baba Yaga and Hitler himself.

10 Hellboy: Gryffindor

Those who think this half-demon, half-human being belongs to Slytherin just because of his heritage simply haven't met him. HB is the kind of person to charge right in without thinking, with either his five-fingered Mary or gun pointed ahead for the sake of the adventure. He will take on just about anyone by the seat of his pants, not only to get the job done but for the glory of it all.

Movie-Hellboy isn't supposed to be seen or heard by people, but he's dying for the recognition he deserves for doing a job well done. Comic-HB can be much lazier at times, but he's just as fearless and willing to charge a monster at any moment's notice.

9 Liz Sherman: Hufflepuff

Liz is a harder person to place: sometimes the lure of her powers consumes her, much like a Slytherin, and she's proven herself to be the bravest person in the room, often the only one who can save everyone, like a Gryffindor. She's one of the most introspective people on the team, a true Ravenclaw quality, but it's her loyalty and dedication to not only the BPRD but the human race that makes Liz a Hufflepuff.

RELATED: 10 X-Men Sorted Into Hogwarts Houses

Liz is constantly exiling herself from the Bureau for causing damage that she did not mean to cause with her pyrokinesis, yet she always returns because she's either needed or finds herself doing the same outside the B.P.R.D. This makes her one of the most torn people in the entire Hellboy universe.

8 Abe Sapien: Ravenclaw

There's no doubt that Abe is a Ravenclaw to the core. Why else would David Hyde Pierce voice the character? In all seriousness, Abe finds the pursuit of knowledge to be one of the most worthwhile uses of his time. He wasn't only a Victorian scientist in his previous life, but an empath, thereby making him a master of both intellectual and emotional intelligence.

Abe definitely does have qualities from other houses, such as his incredible hand-to-hand combat abilities, particularly those underwater, in the comic books, but Ravenclaw is where he would be best suited and most happy.

7 Agent Manning: Slytherin

Duplicitous Agent Thomas Manning is one heck of a Slytherin, duping the American people at large on national television to keep Hellboy a secret while simultaneously bribing and shaming Hellboy to do what he wants. In the comics, he had a bomb put into someone's chest to purposefully go off should the person become hostile, but he did later admit that it wasn't his call.

RELATED: The Goonies Sorted Into Hogwarts Houses

Comic-Manning isn't nearly as prideful and cruel as movie-Manning, but he definitely struggles between being a leader and following the orders of his superiors. Movie-manning is all about his own selfish desires.

6 Agent Myers: Slytherin

Another B.P.R.D. agent who likely belongs in Slytherin House is John Myers, an audience surrogate created for the first del Toro Hellboy film. Myers comes off as a "Boy Scout" at times, making him appear to be a loyal Hufflepuff, but he makes his true intentions known when he seeks out Liz Sherman, with whom he becomes interested in upon seeing her with Hellboy.

Not only does Myers know that his charge is already in love with Liz, but he also knows that she's self-committed into a facility and doesn't want to return to the B.P.R.D. He doesn't care. He sees her, wants her and pursues her, all for naught.

5 Johann Kraus

More likable in the comics than in his film role in Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, Johann Kraus is a Ravenclaw who pursues knowledge not only through academic pursuits, but through psychic ones, which might make him good friends with Luna Lovegood as a student. Kraus speaks multiple languages and is very organized, so the Ravenclaw House would help him flourish and become a better agent.

RELATED: Rick Grimes: Comics Vs. TV Show

Like the other agents, Kraus does have multiple abilities that could place him in other houses, most notably his well-liked personality and great interpersonal skills, which might make him suitable for Hufflepuff as well.

4 Professor Broom: Ravenclaw

Professor Trevor Bruttenholm walks a fine line between the Ravenclaw and Slytherin Houses, depending on which incarnation is being presented. John Hurt's Broom is almost all Ravenclaw, while Ian McShane's is much more Slytherin-prone. When comic--Bruttenholm is averaged with his film counterparts, he is mostly a Ravenclaw at heart.

The academic doctor is an occult expert who graduated from Oxford University. He's the reason why Hellboy wasn't destroyed on sight, and while his motive could be chalked up to fatherly instinct, it was also out of his keen intellect: he knew there was more to the demon child than meets the eye.

3 Ben Daimio: Gryffindor

Militaristic Ben Daimio was a Marine in a past life before he was taken out and cursed with shape-shifting abilities, and it's an experience that still guides him when he works for the B.P.R.D. Blunt, direct and always acting with a preference of action and force rather than diplomacy, Daimio is a Gryffindor.

RELATED: The Ultimate Hellboy Gift Guide

Daimio doesn't care about his looks or his own safety, as he has often demonstrated, and it would appear that he's never sought out reconstructive surgery after his attack that left him without an ear. His were-jaguar form is much more sinister in the comics, resulting in the loss of many agents, which leaves him with heavy guilt.

2 Alice Monaghan: Gryffindor

In the Hellboy reboot, Alice is a gutsy young woman who always wants to be along for the ride, even at great personal danger. The psychic is snarky and funny, and if developed in a better film, could be a really cool addition to the B.P.R.D. As it stands, she's a Gryffindor who risks her life to help Hellboy, who helped her as an infant.

In the comics, the Irish woman, who always appeared to have not aged much due to her time among the fairies, took up the duty as fairy protector after Nimue took out Queen Mab, choosing to remain with the fae.

1 Kate Corrigan: Ravenclaw

One of the biggest losses of the Hellboy films was the lack of Kate Corrigan, one of Red's closest friends and the most practical, wise person on the team. An academic at heart, Dr. Corrigan is a history professor who begins as a consultant for the B.P.R.D. The author of over a dozen books on the occult, Corrigan is a huge asset to the team, but she doesn't want to get into the field.

Ultimately it's Hellboy who convinces his friend to join the team in field operations, which takes ten years for him to do, and she is shaken upon seeing him in action. She's still quite gutsy and comes in handy in action, as fans have seen when she's appeared in the Hellboy animated features.

11th of August 2020 – Simon Allford has been elected the next President of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). Simon will take over the two-year presidential term from Alan Jones next year (1 September 2021); from 1 September 2020 he will officially become RIBA President Elect.

The role of RIBA President was established in 1835 and is the highest elected position in UK architecture. The President Chairs RIBA Council, which acts as the representative body for the membership.

Simon is a founding director of AHMM (where he leads a design studio of 200 architects), a frequent writer, critic and advisor; a visiting professor at Harvard; a previous chairman of the Architecture Foundation; and currently a trustee of the London School of Architecture and the Chickenshed Theatres Trust.

Speaking today, Simon Allford, said: “It is a privilege to have been elected and I look forward to working with members, Council, Board and staff to create a leaner, more open, productive, engaged and reinvigorated RIBA.

We need an institute of ideas with architecture front and centre, hosting debates, lectures and exhibitions reflecting changing cultural and practice contexts. We need an institute that celebrates and promotes members’ work at home and worldwide. We need an institute that is a practice friend, enabling members to share ideas about best ways of working, using today’s technology to help advance architecture for the benefit of society – our Charter obligation.

I am committed to the ‘House of Architecture @ RIBA’, an online and physical entity capable of forming alliances with clients, consultants and contractors to influence government over procurement and education, while also helping us to address global climate change and architecture’s pivotal role in a post-pandemic world.”

RIBA President, Alan Jones, said: “Congratulations to Simon. The next few years will be crucial for our planet and profession as we navigate through health, environmental and economic crises – so Simon has a significant role to play in ensuring all architects receive the strong support and inspiring leadership they need to survive and thrive. I look forward to counting on Simon’s support over the next year before I hand over to them in 2021.”

The RIBA has also today announced the results of the RIBA Council Elections 2020. All RIBA Council appointments announced today will commence on 1 September 2020.

Biography:

Simon Allford is a leading architect and co-founder of Allford Hall Monaghan Morris.

Working from AHMM’s Clerkenwell base, Simon leads a studio with offices in London, Bristol and the US, working internationally on a wide range of award-winning projects. In each case, the quest is to find a way of unlocking the potential for the extraordinary in everyday buildings. Key recent examples include the University of Amsterdam; Google and DeepMind’s HQ offices in London, Berlin and Canada; and The White Collar Factory, Hawley Wharf and Post Building in London.

Currently Simon is leading a series of large-scale urban research and design projects in London, the UK, Europe, India and the US. Each explores potential new ways to live, work and play in a variety of combinations. The studio also engages clients in the exploration of ways to achieve low-carbon architecture and outcomes that avoid rigid assumptions about the way a building needs to look or operate.

Simon recently retired as Chair of the Architecture Foundation. He is a former trustee of the Architectural Association Foundation; Honorary Secretary and Treasurer of The Architectural Association; RIBA Vice-president for Education; member of the RIBA Awards Group and a chair of design deview at CABE. Simon is a frequent judge of major awards and competitions, a writer, critic and advisor. He studied at Sheffield University, then the Bartlett school at University College London. He has taught and examined at schools around the world and is a visiting professor at the Bartlett and at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design.

Simon’s long-term commitment to an open and accessible profession has informed his engagement in numerous initiatives at AHMM, including his founding membership of the practice’s Employee Ownership Trust Board, and his current role as a trustee of the London School of Architecture and Chickenshed Theatres Trust.

4 August 2020 RIBA responds to new Green Homes Grant scheme

Tuesday 4th of August 2020 – The RIBA has today responded to further details announced by government on the Green Homes Grant scheme.

RIBA President, Alan Jones, said:

“It is great to see more details on the Green Homes Grant scheme to support households to become more energy efficient and reduce energy bills.

We have long called for use of a TrustMark to ensure homeowners are using accredited tradespeople and simple energy advice service for homeowners so I’m pleased to see these proposals taken forward. But it’s very disappointing that there is no requirement to compare energy pre and post retrofit to help ensure value for money and energy savings.

It is clear the government needs to urgently set out a ‘National Retrofit strategy’, with adequate funding to retrofit the homes which require upgrading and help meet our net zero targets.”

16 July 2020 RIBA Future Trends June 2020

Thursday 16th of July 2020 – Mixed views about future workload indicate a profession in flux.

Architects’ views on future workloads have improved significantly since the lockdown low in April, but the profession remains pessimistic.

The RIBA Future Trends Workload Index moved towards positive territory, climbing to –17 in June, from -49 in May, and the unprecedented low of -82 in April. The latest survey results show 40% of architects expect work to decrease over the next three months and nearly a quarter (23%) expect an increase (up from 13% in May).

The Staffing Index improved by 9 points in June; 77% of practices expect the level of permanent staff to remain the same over the next three months, 18% expect a decrease (from 26% in May) and 4% anticipate more permanent staff.

There was an increase in prospects across all sectors; the private housing sector returned a figure of -3 (from -40 in May), the commercial sector was at -32 (from -41), the community sector was at -19 (from -33) and the public sector returned a figure of -12 (from -27). Despite pockets of shared optimism, current workloads remain at significantly reduced level – down 28% compared to June 2019. 70% of respondents expect profits to fall over the next 12 months and within that, 7% consider that their practice is unlikely to remain viable.

The findings from this month’s survey also show:

• 19% of architectural staff have been furloughed – a reduction on last month’s figure of 22% • 1% of architectural staff have been made redundant; 1% have been released from a ‘zero hours’, temporary or fixed-term contract. • 32% of projects had been put on hold since the start of March. • 22% of projects which remain active are at stages 5 or 6 of the RIBA Plan of Work. • Among small practices (1 – 10 staff) there were a higher percentage of practices working fewer hours (20%).

RIBA Head of Economic Research and Analysis, Adrian Malleson, said: “Economic uncertainty remains, with many architects expressing concerns about future workloads and significant challenges ahead. The global pandemic, coupled with the risks of a no-deal Brexit, continues to impact our sector.

However, in June we saw an increase in some architects’ confidence and the early signs of returning workloads. More sites are beginning to reopen and practices, particularly those in the residential sector, reported a sharp rise in new enquires. Design work is being carried out, despite the challenges that come with home working.

The RIBA will continue to advocate on behalf of the profession and provide support to members and practices, to help guide them through this challenging time and build resilience for the future.”

Members with concerns or queries are encouraged to email info@riba.org.

14 July 2020 Network Rail Re-imagining Stations Competition

Network Rail and RIBA Competitions launch an international competition to shape the future of Britain’s railway stations.

The competition will provide architects, engineers and designers the chance to improve the travel experience for the millions of passengers who use Britain’s railway, and leave a lasting legacy on station design.

8 July 2020 RIBA reacts to Chancellor’s ‘Plan for Jobs’

RIBA President, Alan Jones, said:

“The RIBA has long advocated for a ‘green’ post-COVID recovery, so I welcome the Chancellor’s efforts to put sustainability front and centre of today’s announcements.

The £2bn Green Homes Grant will help some households become more energy efficient and reduce energy bills, but this must be the start, not the end, of an ambitious strategy to create a sustainable built environment. We urgently need a thorough ‘National Retrofit Strategy’ to fund the upgrading of homes.

To create safe and sustainable housing, the use of Permitted Development Rights must be scrapped, and all building owners and users must begin to measure and understand how well or badly their buildings actually perform through Post Occupancy Evaluation.

Given current levels of economic uncertainty, architecture practices will need more than the new Job Retention Bonus scheme to help them survive over the coming months. We know from past recessions that demand does not return across the whole economy at the same time – support packages for business must continue to reflect this.”

Read the RIBA’s response to yesterday’s UK government funding announcement of £3bn to make homes and public buildings more energy efficient here.

7 July 2020 RIBA responds to Government funding announcement

Wednesday 7th of July 2020 – RIBA responds to Government funding announcement of £3bn to make homes and public buildings more energy efficient.

RIBA President, Alan Jones, said:

“It’s good to see the government bring forward a significant proportion of the £9.2bn pledged for energy efficiency and acknowledge the benefits this will bring to the economy and people’s health.

But this is just the beginning. We will continue to emphasise to policymakers the leading role chartered architects have in designing, coordinating and delivering a sustainable built environment.

We will also lobby for energy efficiency funding for the private rented sector, which includes much of the UK’s most energy inefficient housing stock. We look forward to seeing the details in the Chancellor’s update tomorrow.”

1 July 2020 RIBA President-Elect and Council Candidates

The RIBA has announced the five candidates standing for election as RIBA President-Elect, alongside nominations for seats on RIBA Council.

Successful RIBA Council candidates will commence their three-year term on 1 September 2020. The RIBA President Elect’s term begins on 1 September 2020, with their two-year term as RIBA President commencing on 1 September 2021.

30 June 2020 RIBA responds to Prime Minister’s ‘Project Speed’ announcement

RIBA President, Alan Jones, said: “I welcome the recognition for ‘urgent action’ from the Prime Minister and hope the announcements today are the first of many needed to address the shortcomings of the UK’s physical and social infrastructure.

However, I am extremely concerned by the proposal to enable even more commercial buildings to change to residential use without the need for a planning application. The Government’s own advisory panel referred to the homes created by this policy as “slums”. It is hard to reconcile the commitment to quality with expanding a policy that has delivered low-quality, unsustainable and over-crowded homes across England.

I urge the Prime Minister not to waste this opportunity and to re-build a more sustainable and resilient economy, ensuring that quality and safety remain at the heart of investment.”

18 June 2020 RIBA publishes COVID-19 recovery guidance

The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has today published guidance to help practices steer their route to recovery from the COVID-19 crisis and build future resilience.

The RIBA Recovery Roadmap is divided into three phases: Response, Recovery and Resilience. Each phase considers a series of actions that practices can take to respond to challenges across different areas of their business throughout this crisis and beyond. These range from stabilising finances and supporting staff wellbeing in the immediate term to planning to reopen the office and winning new work in the coming weeks.

The topics covered in each phase respond directly to concerns raised by RIBA members from all practice sizes across the UK.

RIBA President, Alan Jones, said: “Despite the economic uncertainty, practices must take proactive steps now to help alleviate challenges ahead.

Drawing on insights from experts and practitioners, this guidance has been created exclusively for members to guide key business decisions and adapt their strategies to be in the best position for the months ahead.

As we enter this recovery phase, it remains our priority to provide our members and practices with the support they need.”

11 June 2020 Future workloads remain uncertain – RIBA Future Trends May 2020

Thursday 11th of June 2020 – After dropping to an historic low of -82 in April, the RIBA Future Trends Workload Index rose to -49 this month. And while 62% of architects expect their workload to decrease in the next three months, 13% now anticipate an increase, up from just 2% in April.

The RIBA Future Trends Staffing Index also increased marginally by seven points, with 70% of practices saying they expect the level of permanent staff to remain the same over the next three months, 26% saying they expect levels to decrease and 3% saying they expect to increase.

The findings from this month’s survey also show: • Current workloads remain at significantly reduced levels – down 33% compared to May 2019. • 73% of respondents expect profits to fall over the next 12 months – within that, 8% consider that their practice is unlikely to remain viable. • 22% of architectural staff have been furloughed – an increase of 8% from April. • 1% of architectural staff have been made redundant; 1% have been released from a ‘zero hours’, temporary or fixed-term contract. • 38% of projects had been put on hold since the start of March. • 23% of projects which remain active are at stages 5 or 6 of the RIBA Plan of Work.

RIBA Executive Director Professional Services, Adrian Dobson, said: “The current pandemic and economic uncertainty are clearly continuing to impact both architects’ current workloads and their confidence about the future, with the majority expecting their workloads to decrease in coming months.

But while many participants continued to point to the serious recession ahead, some also began to reference glimmers of hope in the form of new enquiries and new commissions.

In these uncertain times, we are on hand, and will continue to support members and practices by helping them map routes to recovery and build resilience for future challenges.”

26 May 2020 Mental health concern grows – RIBA COVID-19 survey findings

Tuesday 26th May 2020 – The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has published the findings from its second COVID-19 survey of architects, revealing the impact of the pandemic on the profession.

Findings indicate the main concerns for people, practices and projects:

People

Mental health decline– 40% said their mental health had been affected (a significant increase from 23% in April); 20% felt isolated.

Working location– 74% said they were working entirely from home, a further 10% said they were working mostly from home.

Working from home difficulties– almost a quarter (24%) are caring for others and 13% said they have inadequate equipment.

Reduced income – 56% have reduced personal and/or household income.

Working patterns have changed – 15% said they had been furloughed and 27% said they were working reduced hours. 37% reported finding ‘new and better ways of working’.

Practices 

Economic impact – 58% reported fewer new business enquiries, 53% reported a decreased workload and 57% said they were experiencing a cashflow reduction.

Projects

Site closures– 60% said at least one of their project sites had closed.

Widespread project delays – 90% reported project delays, citing parties including clients, contractors, planning officers and building control officers.

Clients responsible for most project cancellations– 48% of decisions to cancel projects were made by the client.

RIBA CEO, Alan Vallance, said:

“Our latest survey findings show the continuing impact of the pandemic on the business of architecture and the wellbeing of architects.

We are particularly concerned to see a significant decline in mental health, with most having to deal with reduced incomes and many also juggling caring responsibilities with home-working.  As lockdown restrictions ease, construction sites re-open and we establish new ways of working, we must prioritise our health and wellbeing – and those of our employees and colleagues – and seek support should we need to. Practice leaders can help by promoting a healthy work-life balance.

We are here to help members navigate through and beyond this crisis. We are producing regular guidance in response to the profession’s key concerns and lobbying the Government to support the sector both financially and as a key client.”

Members with any concerns are encouraged to email info@riba.org for information and support.

21 May 2020 RIBA calls for ‘decade of action’ with new report 

Thursday 21st of May 2020 – The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has today published a new report revealing architects’ views on the climate emergency and showcasing exemplar applications of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

‘A Decade of Action: RIBA Members and the Sustainable Development Goals’ reveals the profession’s strong commitment to sustainable development and climate action, but also highlights that more progress needs to be made by architects, clients and the UK Government to raise the bar.

In a detailed member survey:

66% of participants said their organisation is committed to addressing the climate emergency.

Project Cost Constraints (79%) and Client Requirements (70%) were cited as the biggest barriers to building sustainably.

82% said their organisation believes the UK Government must legislate for higher standards.

70% said their organisation would welcome the Building Regulations mandating ‘zero carbon’ by 2030.

The second part of the RIBA report showcases best practice examples of how the UN Sustainable Development Goals can be embedded in projects, practices and schools of architecture.

It highlights schools which reference and discuss the SDGs, projects which apply and further the SDGs, and practices which base their entire business strategies on them – from business operations, to supply chains, to practice structure and projects themselves.

RIBA CEO, Alan Vallance, said:

“The findings of our survey – and best practice examples that follow – show that RIBA members are committed to transforming the built environment, but also that there’s progress yet to be made.

Architects, clients and policy makers understand the need for change, but even more collaboration is required to turn this ambition into action.

While the RIBA continues to lobby the UK Government to adapt the Building Regulations to meet the scale of our environmental challenge, architects are uniquely placed to lead the green recovery of the built environment post-pandemic. This means applying the Sustainable Development Goals consistently, and encouraging clients to do the same.

It’s time to kick-start a decade of action, sign-up to the 2030 Climate Challenge, and make sure we’re building a future that will last.”

The RIBA’s Sustainable Outcomes Guide aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and outlines eight clear, measurable goals for projects of all scales, underpinned by specific design principles to achieve them.

14 May 2020 Workload expectations hit historic low – RIBA Future Trends April 2020

The latest RIBA Future Trends survey results show the worsening impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the architecture and construction industries.

During April 2020, the RIBA Future Trends Workload Index dropped to an historic low, with a balance figure of -82 (from -11 in March). Architects’ workloads are 33% less than they were twelve months ago.

84% per cent of architects expect their workload to fall in the next three months with balance figures ranging from -80 for small practices to -100 for large practices.

All work sectors and all regions also showed a significant drop in confidence. The private housing sector fell furthest from -7 to -72; the commercial sector fell from -5 to -60 and the community sector fell from -8 to -50.

The Staffing Index also saw the largest monthly drop on record from 0 to -30 with 31% of practices (saying they expected to employ fewer full-time staff in the next three months. 68% said they expect staffing levels to stay the same.

Survey results also indicate:

39% of projects have been put on hold since the 1st March.

Of the projects that remain active, 21% are at stages 5 or 6 of the RIBA Plan of Work – so vulnerable to site restrictions.

14% of practice architectural staff have been furloughed.

29% of small practice staff (1 – 10 staff) are working fewer hours.

RIBA Executive Director Professional Services, Adrian Dobson, said:

“This is a crisis is like no other. While a reduction in architects’ confidence has previously been an early indicator of a contraction in the construction sector – because design work comes first – this time, work on site was immediately disrupted.

Workload recovery will depend on the speed and nature of our move out of lockdown, and on how much architectural and construction capacity has been preserved.

As the sector adapts to new ways of working, the RIBA will lobby for continued protection of jobs and businesses and push the Government to invest in the housing and public sector projects the country desperately needs. This also means harnessing the expertise of architects who have the skills to re-mobilise communities and enable safe returns to workplaces and school.

We will continue to advocate on behalf of the profession and ensure members have the guidance and information they need to navigate the coming weeks and months.”

Members with any concerns about the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak are encouraged to email info@riba.org.

11 May 2020 RIBA responds to Government’s coronavirus recovery strategy

The RIBA has responded to the Government’s COVID-19 recovery strategy.

RIBA CEO, Alan Vallance, said: “The recovery from COVID-19 will clearly not happen overnight. It will take time for architects to adapt to new ways of working and during this time the Government must continue to protect jobs and businesses.

Until the Government publishes specific guidance on how to safely re-open and operate workplaces, businesses cannot make tangible plans or provide their employees with the reassurance they need.

The Government must also help the sector build resilience against future challenges and invest in public sector projects the country desperately needs. It’s time to harness the expertise of architects who have the skills and expertise to re-mobilise communities and enable safe returns to work and school.”

23 Apr 2020 RIBA opens £30K funding scheme for architecture students

Thursday 23rd of April 2020 – The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has opened funding applications for five RIBA Wren Insurance Association Scholarships.

The annual scholarships are open to current students enrolled in the first year of their RIBA Part 2 course. A total of £30,000 will be available, with each recipient receiving £6,000 and the opportunity to be mentored by an architect member of the Wren Insurance Association throughout their second year.

The scheme, which was set up in 2013, has supported 35 recipients to date. The deadline for applications is Tuesday 26 May 2020.

RIBA Director of Education David Gloster said: “We are very grateful to the Wren Insurance Association for their continued generosity over the years and especially at this extremely challenging time. Many students are struggling with the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis, and scholarships such as this are vital tools to support, reward and retain talent in our profession.”

Applicants can find more information about last year’s award winners and how to apply for this year’s awards here.

17 Apr 2020 Workload confidence plummets – RIBA Future Trends March 2020

The impact of the coronavirus crisis on architects is starkly illustrated by the March 2020 RIBA Future Trends survey results. As the approaching disruption to the profession became clearer, the RIBA Future Trends Workload Index dropped an unprecedented 33 points to –11, the steepest fall in confidence on record.

Large architecture practices returned a balance figure of –20 (down from +60), medium practices were at –8 (down from +67) and small practices fell 28 points, to -10.

This sharp drop in confidence was recorded in most of the UK. London fell to -19 (from +23); the Midlands & East Anglia fell to -21 (from +29); the South of England went to -7 (from +6); and Wales and the West recorded the largest fall to -9 (from +43). The North of England was the only region that remained in positive territory, at +14.

All sectors fell into negative territory with the private housing sector being the most affected, dropping 21 points to -7. The RIBA Future Trends Staffing Index also fell to 0 (from +8).

RIBA Executive Director Professional Services, Adrian Dobson, said: “Whilst concerns about the potential impacts of the coronavirus crisis had been building for many weeks, March was an obvious turning point. Many practices reported a sudden loss of revenue as the UK went into lockdown, construction sites began to close and new enquiries dropped off. New work was becoming sparse, advice to business from Government was sporadic and uncertainty grew. The profession is clearly bracing itself for the coming weeks and months.

As well as preparing for a potentially rough ride in the short term, architects need to plan for the future and be ready to respond when business picks up. The RIBA has developed our COVID-19 hub with a suite of information and guidance to best support all our members: on financial help, protecting staff, mental health and how practices can prepare themselves for the future.

We are in daily contact with the Government, advocating on behalf of architects to provide businesses with the security they need. We will continue to work hard on behalf of our members and encourage anyone with concerns or suggestions to contact us.”

6 Apr 2020 RIBA COVID-19 survey findings

45% report drop in personal income and almost a quarter struggling with mental health – RIBA COVID-19 survey findings.

The RIBA has today (Monday 6 April) published the findings from its COVID-19 survey of the profession.

Headline findings from the survey, which was completed by 1001 architects (83% RIBA members), revealed:

The business of architecture is under stress:

59% of respondents reported a decreased workload and 58% reported a decrease in new business enquires. This has led to a reduction in cash flow, with 57% of respondents already experiencing less money coming through.

A radical shift in normal working patterns:

81% of respondents are working entirely at home and around 70% of students reported that their campus had closed.

Significant project disruption:

79% reported project delays, 61% reported site closures, and over a third (37%) reported projects being cancelled. Only 5% of respondents reported no disruption.

Architects are under personal stress:

A third of respondents reported a drop in household income and 45% reported a drop in personal income. Almost a third also reported they had self-isolated with nearly a quarter (23%) reporting deterioration in mental health and 21% commenting they ‘felt isolated’.

RIBA CEO, Alan Vallance, said:

“The findings of this survey show how that COVID-19 is having a severe impact on architects, professionally and personally. For many architects, their work is more than a way to earn a living, and to see decades of hard work threatened by circumstances none of us can have foreseen is a disaster.

The RIBA remains committed to responding to the needs of its members, and will carry on providing the information, guidance and support they need so that architects can weather this storm.

We will continue to lobby the Government to protect the income of all affected architects, expand support schemes to cover directors’ dividends and shift economic policies to provide businesses with the security they need.

During this extremely unsettling time, I call on employers to prioritise the welfare and wellbeing of their staff. This means enabling them to work from home flexibly where possible, and taking advantage of the Government’s Job Retention Scheme. The RIBA is currently asking the Government to give grants or expand capital allowances so that companies can purchase or rent computer equipment to make it easier for employees to work productively and collaboratively at home.

Above all else, we must all prioritise our own physical and mental health, and seek support if needed.

The RIBA will continue to guide and support the profession as we navigate through the coming weeks and months.”

Members with any concerns about the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak are encouraged to email info(at)riba.org.

26 Mar 2020 RIBA responds to Government’s new Self-Employed Income Support Scheme

Thursday 26 March 2020 – The RIBA has responded to the Government’s new scheme to support the UK’s self-employed affected by the coronavirus outbreak.

RIBA CEO, Alan Vallance, said: “This scheme should provide long-overdue relief to self-employed people across the UK, but many will be seriously concerned about how they will manage their finances until the fund becomes available.

There are also a number of unanswered questions around the eligibility of those with newer businesses and some types of self-employment. We will be pushing the Treasury for clarity.

Almost a quarter of our Chartered Practices (sole practitioners) should be eligible to apply, but most need funds to tide them over now, not in two months’ time.

The challenge facing the Treasury is unenviably complex, but it needs to introduce some sort of interim financial support as a matter of urgency.”

20 Mar 2020 UK Government to ‘stand behind workers’ – RIBA responds

Friday 20th of March 2020 – The RIBA has responded to the Government’s latest financial measures including paying wages for workers facing job losses and deferring the next quarter of VAT payments.

RIBA CEO, Alan Vallance, said: “We are encouraged by the financial measures announced this evening and hope they will provide much needed support for practices to retain staff and manage cash flow. The RIBA is engaging with the Government on a daily basis and this latest package of support reflects proposals we put to the Chancellor earlier this week. We will continue to ensure the concerns of our members are heard, understood and acted upon.”

RIBA responds to Government’s latest package of financial support for businesses

Tuesday 17th of March 2020 – The RIBA has responded to the Government’s latest financial measures to shore up the economy against the coronavirus impact.

RIBA CEO, Alan Vallance, said: “We welcome the Government’s ‘unprecedented package’ of financial support during these unpredictable times, especially the extension of businesses eligible for loans. But more will be needed to support SMEs – most architecture practices – who are already feeling the pain of this pandemic. The Government must ease the cash squeeze faced by many practices and their clients, and provide clarity on how it will keep the planning system operating and construction sites open so that projects can progress.

We are writing to the Chancellor and Secretary of State for Housing to outline the specific support required for architects. The RIBA will do whatever is required to ensure Government provides the support our members need.”

12 Mar 2020 RIBA responds to Government’s proposed changes to the planning system

The RIBA has responded to ‘Planning for the Future’ – the Government’s policy paper which sets out post-Budget plans for housing and planning.

RIBA Executive Director Professional Services, Adrian Dobson, said:

The latest changes to the planning system contain a number of significant proposals. We are pleased with the pledges to review current house building processes, connect the development of housing and infrastructure more effectively and make land ownership more transparent.

However, there is a fundamental contradiction between the Government’s professed commitment to quality and its plans to further expand permitted development. Current rules allow developers to create housing which fails to meet even the most basic spatial, quality and environmental standards. Rather than driving a ‘green housing revolution’, the Government’s plans to allow the demolition and replacement of industrial and commercial property with housing under permitted development would make it easier to build the slums of the future.”

11 Mar 2020 RIBA reveals designers of 2020 summer installation

The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has today (Wednesday 11 March 2020) announced Charles Holland Architects, together with multi-disciplinary artist Di Mainstone, as the designers of the summer installation at RIBA’s landmark HQ building in central London.

Responding to the theme of ‘Power’, the installation will be on show from 28 May to 12 September 2020.

Part architecture, part experience, this collaboration will combine an architectural installation with a multi-sensory performative element. Through theatrical devices, playful soundscapes and sculptural objects, it considers the power relations unspoken within the architectural plan. The arrangement of space – the architectural plan – informs how we move though buildings, what rooms we are allowed into and what we do in them. Transforming the layout of the gallery space, visitors are invited to explore how forms of power are expressed and performed in architecture.

The proposal was chosen, following an open call, by the a curatorial panel consisting of: Marie Bak Mortensen, Head of Exhibitions, RIBA; Margaret Cubbage, Curator Exhibitions, RIBA; Owen Hatherley, writer and critic; Luke Casper Pearson, Lecturer at Bartlett School of Architecture and part of selected practice You+Pea for the 2019 installation; and Catherine Yass, artist.

RIBA Head of Exhibitions & Interpretation, Marie Bak Mortensen, said: “The curatorial panel was overwhelmed with the ambition and breadth of the submissions to this year’s Architecture Open and it was far from an easy task to narrow down 67 entries to one. Combining the skills of an architect with those of a multi-disciplinary artist will bring new tactile experiences to the RIBA Architecture Gallery, while highlighting the intangible power of one of the fundamentals of architecture: the plan. We look forward to revealing this experiential installation in summer 2020 and inviting visitors to explore how architectural drawings prescribe and define our spaces.”

The installation will be on display alongside a programme of talks and events during the London Festival of Architecture (LFA).

RIBA responds to 2020 Budget

RIBA CEO, Alan Vallance, said: “Given ongoing concerns about the impact of coronavirus, and the predominance of SMEs in our industry, it is positive to see specific support in the Budget outlined for smaller businesses and employers.

The significant spending on affordable, safe homes and infrastructure announced today is welcome, though arguably a decade overdue. To meet ambitious housing targets, we need to work on building high-quality, safe and sustainable homes.

We will continue to urge the Government to spend public money wisely, and ensure that every penny delivers real long-term value for communities as well as our economy. Social value must be at the heart of all procurement processes and spending plans.”

UK’s approach to trade negotiations with the US – RIBA responds

Monday 2 March 2020 – The RIBA has today responded to the UK Government’s policy paper setting out aims for trade negotiations with the United States.

RIBA CEO, Alan Vallance, said:

“Today’s announcement that the UK will be seeking a Free Trade Agreement with the US that includes the recognition of professional qualifications is a promising development for architects.

The RIBA has been calling on the Government to secure a transatlantic trade deal that supports architecture – as one of the UK’s world-leading services – through fair access to the US market and increased opportunities for professionals to operate overseas. We will continue to make this case as talks commence.”

27 Feb 2020 EU and UK Trade Negotiating Strategies Response

‘A step in the right direction’ – RIBA responds to EU and UK trade negotiating strategies

Thursday 27 February 2020 – The RIBA has responded to the UK Government’s ‘Future Relationship with the EU’ and the European Union’s ‘Council decision authorising the opening of negotiations’.

RIBA CEO, Alan Vallance, said: “It is positive to see the European Union and UK Government’s negotiating strategies align regarding the Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications (MRPQ) – both agreeing this must be part of our future trade deal. This deal will affect goods, such as construction materials, and services, such as architecture. But most importantly, it will affect people across Europe, who rely on the architecture sector to design high-quality, safe and sustainable buildings.”

27 Feb 2020 RIBA publishes comprehensive new Plan of Work

The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has today published the RIBA Plan of Work 2020 – the definitive guide for the design and construction of buildings.

For the first time, the RIBA Plan of Work includes a Sustainability Project Strategy which provides actions and tasks aligned with the RIBA Sustainable Outcomes Guide for each project stage. These range from appointing a sustainability champion to carrying out Post Occupancy Evaluation.

The updated document responds to detailed feedback from the construction industry. New additions include a section comparing the Plan of Work to international equivalents and nine Project Strategies including Fire Safety and Inclusive Design.

RIBA President, Professor Alan M Jones, said: “The RIBA Plan of Work continues to be an extremely relevant and highly effective tool for the construction industry. This new version reflects the huge environmental and societal challenges we face – as a planet and an industry. As chartered architects, we have a responsibility to ensure the delivery of high-quality, safe and sustainable environments; and the RIBA Plan of Work 2020 is our essential, definitive guide for doing so.”

The RIBA Plan of Work 2020 and RIBA Sustainable Outcomes Guide have been developed to support the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge, an initiative to encourage RIBA Chartered Practices to achieve net zero whole life carbon for all new and retrofitted buildings by 2030.

21 Jan 2020 RIBA responds to CPRE report on new housing design

Tuesday 21 January 2020 – “As RIBA architects highlight daily and this report emphasises, the design quality of new housing developments is simply not good enough. This is a problem for people who need new homes now. The solutions available to government are clear: increased resourcing, better design skills within local authorities, and a clear planning framework that upholds standards.

It is also vital that permitted development rules, which allow developers to sidestep basic safety and sustainability standards are scrapped. Without these changes, the country will continue to store up further issues for the future.”

Alan M Jones, RIBA President

RIBA News 2020 – architects workload trends

The impact of Brexit uncertainty on construction – RIBA reveals 2019 trends

Thursday 16 January 2020 – The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has today published its monthly summary of business intelligence, alongside a commentary on the stand-out trends reported by architects throughout 2019.

In 2019, Brexit uncertainty had a significant impact on the architecture profession and the wider construction industry.

Monthly workload predictions were extremely volatile. In the second half of the year, as the prospect of a no-deal Brexit grew closer, the Index fell; from a 2019 high of +9 in June, to a negative figure for three of the final four months of the year. In October when crashing out of the EU looked like a real possibility, the Index stood at -10, the lowest balance score since 2011. Architects consistently described heightened client caution: with a reduction in project enquiries; projects being put on hold or failing to move past early design stages; and downward pressure on fees.

The differing levels of optimism between practices in the north and south of the UK was another consistent trend. Architecture practices in London and the South of England were far less positive about their future workloads, a sentiment shared by smaller practices, wherever they were located. Larger practices, and those in the North of England, felt consistently more positive about securing long-term work.

RIBA Future Trends – December 2019 report

In December 2019, the RIBA Future Trends Workload Index sat at -2 – slipping back into negative territory for the final month of the year.

Small practices (1-10 staff) were most negative about future workloads – returning a balance figure of -6 – while medium (11-50 staff) and large-sized practices (51+ staff) remained positive, returning a combined balance figure of +38.

London fell into negative territory (dropping from zero to –18) along with the Midlands & East Anglia who fell from -6 to -13. The South of England held steady at zero whereas practices in Wales and the West and the North of England remained level and positive, returning balance figures of +14.

The private housing sector saw the biggest rise to +2 following three months in negative territory (the longest run since 2009) and the community sector rose slightly to -3. The commercial and public sectors both remained negative, falling back one point each to -5 and -4.

The RIBA Future Trends Staffing Index remained steady, with a balance figure of +2 in December and the anticipated demand for temporary staff in the next three months increased to +2. 22 per cent of practices said they were personally under-employed in the last month, due to a lack of work.

RIBA Head of Economic Research and Analysis, Adrian Malleson, said: “2019 Future Trends data consistently emphasised the impact of Brexit and political uncertainty on the construction industry. Reports of postponed projects, downward pressure on professional fees and skills shortages were prevalent, alongside a reluctance from clients to invest in building projects.

Larger practices and those in the North of England tended to be more optimistic, suggesting a shift in the focus of activity away from London and the South in 2019. It was also a year which saw an increase in larger firms looking beyond the UK for work.

After an extended period of volatility, and with a new government in place and more clarity on plans to leave the EU, there are glimmers of growing confidence in the profession, with some practices starting to report an increase in enquiries. Our Chartered Practices are resilient and adaptable to challenge. We look forward to presenting their predictions over the coming months.”

RIBA launches open call to design experimental installation for Architecture Gallery

Deadline for entries: 13 February 2020

The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) is inviting architects, architecture students and creatives to design a temporary installation at the RIBA’s HQ building in central London, to coincide with the London Festival of Architecture (LFA).

Responding to the Festival’s theme of ‘Power’, the installation will be on show from 28 May through to September 2020.

The ‘Power’ theme is open to interpretation, with no prescribed brief. For example, submissions could take the form of a built installation, a set of architectural sculptures, sound pieces or a film.

Architecture Open is an annual opportunity for creatives at all stages of their careers to develop an artistic and architectural installation. The proposal can be an existing project or idea, however evidence of experimentation, thought-provoking ideas relating to the theme and imaginative thinking around audiences are encouraged. Clear consideration of material and construction methods should also be expressed, especially in relation to best practice in sustainability. Architects and architecture students are welcome to develop collaborative ideas with artists or designers.

RIBA Head of Exhibitions & Interpretation, Marie Bak Mortensen, said: “In its five-year history, the RIBA Architecture Gallery has commissioned architects and designers to present their ideas in critically acclaimed exhibitions, including Assemble, Pablo Bronstein, APPARATA, Giles Round, Sam Jacob Studio and Pezo von Ellrichshausen. The 2020 theme of Power is a pertinent and broad one which will no doubt encourage a range of responses, and I look forward to seeing the breadth and quality of the proposals submitted this year.”

The project budget is £25,000 plus a £4,000 design fee (excluding VAT).

The project is open to all RIBA Members, Chartered Practices and architecture students (for whom membership is free).
