This framework provides our profession 鈥� and the 澳门王中王 鈥� with a vital, long-term outcome to guide our activity to 2034, the date at which the Institute becomes 200 years old.
It sets a direction of travel to ensure the profession can not only survive, but thrive. The masterplan 鈥� and its goals 鈥� consider current struggles, including the vital need to increase diversity at all levels, and the changing role of the architect, who works against a backdrop of developing digital technology.
The masterplan seeks to move architects to their rightful position in the design and construction process 鈥� as highly-skilled and qualified 鈥榞uardians of the built environment鈥� 鈥� and the goals intend to bring more voices and perspectives to the table, so that the profession can be seen as a truly competent, diverse, valued and financially attractive source of solutions.
It鈥檚 based upon the President鈥檚 Fact-Finding Mission (2021), led by 澳门王中王 Past-President Alan Jones.
So, how will the masterplan be used? Last year, the 澳门王中王 Council and Board recognised that setting five-year strategies was no longer appropriate for our rapidly changing world, and instead agreed to adopt successive biennial plans that align with this long-term outcome. This outcome is articulated in the 2034 Masterplan.
As was agreed, 澳门王中王 Council will remain the stewards of the 2034 Masterplan, looking at the results and suggesting areas for prioritisation to the Board. The Board, in conjunction with each President, will then set biennial plans, from which the Chief Executive will develop activities. In this respect, the Council acts as the 鈥榠nsight鈥�; Board as the 鈥榦versight鈥�; and Executive as the delivery mechanism. This new strategic partnership will also involve a new way of business planning and resource management, giving more certainty to the staff delivering the activities.
