Sunand wins RIBA presidency

Congratulations to Sunand Prasad, who was confirmed today as the next RIBA president. He's got great energy and experience at the coalface as well as at high level strategically. And on a more mundane level, its great to see a non-white face representing a profession that's still stuck in the dark ages regarding race and gender representation. Its one thing to talk to BME students about how they should become architects, quite another to have a face that demonstrates that it is possible.
