I will never RETIRE. I'm an ARCHITECT!

In Part 2 of this two-part series, you will hear from thought-provoking ⁠John Kellett ⁠⁠, an ARB-registered, RIBA Chartered Architect, and founder of ⁠KR.eativ: Architects Ltd⁠. Based in Northamptonshire, John has built his career designing sustainable, functional, and beautiful spaces across healthcare, heritage, residential, and hospitality sectors.

His work combines modern construction methods with advanced BIM tools, underpinned by a passion for solving complex design challenges.

John continues to discuss how he is often without work and yet is ready and willing to design any building type and has the skills and computing power to deliver projects such as hospitals, but he can't get the insurance cover to do this! We discuss many topics which currently have a real impact on the profession.

From his childhood fascination with buildings to his insights on the failures of design-and-build contracts, building safety legislation, and the undervaluing of architects, this conversation pulls no punches.

In This Episode:

✅ The current education system ✅ Where Grenfell went wrong ✅ The role of Principal Designer and who is best to do this role ✅ How the media misrepresents architects in the press as murderers in the UK ✅ Protection of Title and Function ✅ Are Non architects' mistakes driving up PII? ✅ Big City architects stealing the work of provincial architects

Key Quote:🗨️ "I will never retire, I'm a fu*cking architect, it's who I am"
