Practice Futures is an update to The Professionals’ Choice, a 2003 Building Futures publication that examined the future of the built environment professions. Our new mini-publication aims to rexamine the shape of the profession given the current climate, and looks to a 10 year horizon to speculate on where we might be heading. Following an invited seminar held last summer, four participants have crystallised their ideas into a series of short pieces that are both provocative and probing.
