Architecture Update: Happier outlook
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.ARCHITECTS are more optimistic about their future workload than at any time in the past five years, according to a survey by the Royal Institute of British Architects. Forty per cent of architects questioned expected work to increase over the next six months, with only 18 per cent predicting a fall. New commissions in the last quarter of 1993 were up 5 per cent on the previous quarter, and up 30 per cent for the year compared with 1992. The good news follows unprecedented levels of 'underemployment' among architects, particularly those in private practice, during the past three years.
