This book is a series of curated essays by high-profile architecture and design leaders and educators on the topic of professionalism. The book first sets out the current agenda—defining professionalism for the architecture sector—before moving on to focus on delivering the increased professional skills curriculum content within architecture schools as set by the RIBA.

With an introduction and conclusion by the Editors, Defining Contemporary Professionalism explores what contemporary professionalism within architecture is, and its future, encouraging the current and future profession to address professionalism across the industry.
