We are only able to run Building Futures thanks to the generous support of over 50 architecture practices, who give their time, expertise and money to make it a success. With your support, we can sustain and grow the programme, nurturing the architects of the future, creating a diverse and exciting profession to work in.
There are numerous ways you can support our work.
For many, the cost of starting an architecture course, never mind completing Part 2, is prohibitive. Many young talents are deterred before they even start, and the dropout rate amongst students of diverse ethnic heritage is disproportionately high. We therefore focus our support on diverse and under-represented young people. Our bursaries help with the cost of study and are often the deciding factor in whether a student can complete their qualifications. It costs us £3,500 to help fund a young person through either their Part 1 or Part 2 studies, could you support us?
