Co-working has becoming increasingly common in offices across the world, and that trend is only set to continue. With traditional offices set to become a minority by 2030, we consider how architects can innovate, with help from CL3, the architects behind Bangkok’s Gaysorn II office development.

Outside the office, the public spaces of our cities are not quite what they seem. We investigate how public spaces in the UK and further afield have increasingly been transferred into private hands, and ask what architects can do to challenge the trend.
Continuing in the UK, the general election is almost upon us, and for architects in particular there is much to consider. We hear what the RIBA thinks of the three main UK parties’ manifestos, and how it expects them to impact the industry.
Away from modern concerns, listed building restoration remains an ever-present and unique challenge for many architects. We hear from notable conservation architects about the pitfalls, challenges and best practices.
Looking to the future, the use of 3D models may soon get considerably easier. We consider the project by ETH Zurich to generate complex, intelligent 3D models of the world’s cities using publicly available videos and images.

The Privatisation of Public Space
Since the rise of neoliberalism in the late 1980s, public spaces in the UK and other cities around the world have increasingly been transferred into private hands. What affect does this have on our cities and what can architects do to challenge it? We find out

The RIBA on the Manifestos
While the manifestos of Britain’s main political parties demonstrate some pretty big ideological differences, distinguishing features aren’t as obvious when it comes to architecture. To help, the RIBA’s president Jane Duncan is on hand to give the body’s opinion on how parties’ policies are likely to affect the architecture industry
