RIBA 101620

UK’s largest architecture market finally positive about workloads as lockdown begins to ease

London architects are reporting “remarkable” optimism about future workloads for the first time in more than a year, according to the RIBA Future Trends survey.

Expectations for future pipelines in the capital have soared by 21 points in the past month, resulting in the city’s first positive balance figure since February 2020 in what RIBA has hailed as a “turning point”.

The survey measures future outlooks among architects, with any figure above zero meaning optimism about the amount of work expected in the next three months.
