Sophie Steed tells Building about her 1980s pop music knowledge, the Mackintosh Building in Glasgow and women in construction.

What has been your biggest career challenge?

The transition from design architect to director, where my role is to support and motivate a team of people at various stages of their career. This has meant honing my skills to understand how different people work, and drawing out individuals’ strengths so that we are all able to work collaboratively and successfully.

If you could change one thing about the industry, what would it be?

For everyone to understand the value an architect brings to a project in improving the built environment.
