During his career he has balanced ethical demands within an established practice, an architectural charity, and whilst running his own practice.

“Early engagement with Alasdair and the team at Collective Works really benefitted the delivery of three social prescribing schemes across the UK.
They totally understood us as a client and our role in the health property sector and how ESG plays a part in our longer-term vision.”

Ethical Practice
Alasdair Ben Dixon and Carys Rowlands co wrote the RIBA Ethical Practice Guide. It is one of a series of Practice Guides that aims to help architects to uphold the RIBA Code of Professional Conduct, and then go beyond the Code into the realms of best practice. It is part of a wider initiative by the authors and the RIBA to bring discussions around Ethical Practice to the forefront of professional practice.
The guide is designed to improve industry’s grasp of ethical decision-making as it relates to the wider world, society, clients, the workplace, the profession, and the individual.
You can purchase the book at the RIBA Bookshop.
