Chris Williamson is Chairman of the board at Weston Williamson + Partners which he founded in 1985.

Chris was recently the International Vice President of the RIBA responsible for setting a strategy to grow into a global membership institution and to encourage more UK architects to seek work globally, and is running for RIBA President at the moment. 

This episode covers how one book changed his life and took him from a rural midlands village to running a successful London-based practice with his business partner for 40 years, before selling the business last year. 

The episode also covers Chris’ opinion on the challenges that the industry faces, and the changing role of the architect in a rapidly changing world.
