It’s been an interesting year to say the least. The world has witnessed unparalleled change and technology has had to step up and fill the void left behind by restrictions on work and social gatherings. But the architecture industry carries on regardless, as teams meet in virtual spaces and planning authorities make decisions via little Zoom boxes. Builders still build and investors want to put their money into something despite the empty office buildings and cafes in our city centres that were once buzzing with activity.

In the space of the last nine months we have shifted events and networking from almost exclusively physical environments to entirely digital. Following the initial excitement of meeting friends and colleagues for a drink while sitting at the laptop there was a glut of online activities (including a few our most exciting Negroni Talks ever produced). However, that sudden popularity peaked and then started to wane as we all realised that we’d rather take a screen break and go for a walk.

As the cold nights draw in, we thought it was worth one last hurrah to meet and look at the year in review with old friends/ collaborators and newcomers for a good old gossip. We are therefore proposing a special talk to see out 2020 with a Negroni in hand and a chance to consider what 2021 will bring. One things for sure, we won’t be returning to business as usual.
