072: Rethinking Procurement & Business Identity with Russell Curtis, RCKa
Channel: Business of Architecture
Date: 2019-12-20

In this week's podcast, I interview Russell Curtis one of the founding directors of RCKa. Russell oversees RCKa's commercial and residential infill projects and is responsible for the delivery phase of the practice's work. 

Russell is also a founding director of Project Compass CIC, a not-for-profit organisation campaigning for increased transparency and accessibility in public sector procurement in the UK.

In this conversation you will learn:
- How RCKa evolved into doing public work
- Why post occupancy evaluation and the life cycle of our buildings is so important in communicating our value as architects
- Strategies for how young practices can begin to win public work
