Open City Audio: The Brief - 5 March 2026 (Jeremy Walker)

Weekly programmes by Open City. Making architecture and cities more open, accessible, and equitable. This week: The Brief. Sahiba Chada is joined by architect Jeremy Walker. Jeremy is the Head of Design at Human Nature, a property developer currently working on the construction of the UK’s largest timber-structure neighbourhood: the Phoenix development in East Sussex. Together they discuss: retail giant John Lewis winds up its housebuilding arm amid economic woes; the London Assembly argues Londoners want more traditional-looking homes; the Royal Institution of British Architects calls for the abolition of the Architects Registration Board; and raising the profile of women architects and designers, we discuss the winners of the 2026 Jane Drew and Ada Louise Huxtable prizes.
