This month Mark and Alex are joined by National Infrastructure Commissioner and co-founder of dRMM Architects Sadie Morgan to discuss the value of high quality design – picking out what is currently being done well and what is being done less well. The HS2 mega-project comes under the spotlight as Sadie reminds us why it remains of such critical national importance.
The interview with Sadie Morgan begins at 12:02.
Mark and Alex also reflect on the early opening of the A14 upgrade and what that says about the way the construction industry is transforming itself.
The podcast also touches on the recent British Construction Industry Awards, of which Sadie was Chair of Judges. The trio discuss some of the shortlisted and winning projects and ask "what makes a BCI Award winner so special?".
