Who gets to become an architect?

In this episode of Intelligent Architecture, we’re joined by Victoria Thornton OBE, founder of the Thornton Education Trust, to explore pathways into careers in architecture and the built environment - and how the profession can better engage and support the next generation.

As conversations continue around education, access, and alternative routes into practice, we reflect on how architecture is perceived, how young people discover the profession, and what barriers still exist. We also consider how industry, education, and practice must evolve to create more inclusive, accessible, and meaningful pathways into shaping the built environment.

Join us for an open and constructive conversation about access, opportunity, and the future of the profession.
