Sadiq Khan has appointed 25 new design advocates to help shape London’s built environment with the latest cohort including Satish Jassal Architects founder Satish Jassal and Public Practice co-founder Finn Williams.
The group of architects, urban designers, landscape architects, sustainability and diversity experts will support the London mayor’s Good Growth by Design programme, which aims to promote quality and inclusion in buildings and public spaces.
The 25 new appointees join 28 existing advocates which have been retained from the previous cohort, including AHMM director Paul Monaghan and Farshid Moussavi Architecture founder Farshid Moussavi.
Other new appointees include Gort Scott co-founder Fiona Scott, Levitt Bernstein’s Jo McCafferty, PRP’s Angeli Ganoo-Fletcher, Donald Insall Associates’ Regine Kandan, RCKa’s Russel Curtis and Howells’ Sophia Ceneda.
Publica founder Lucy Musgrave, Satish Jassal Architects founder Satish Jassal, Adam Khan Architects founder Adam Khan, Jas Bhalla Architects founder Jas Bhalla and Farshid Moussavi Architecture founder Farshid Moussavi.
Established in 2017, the Good Growth by Design programme has seen design advocates review more than 100 projects through the London Review Panel, informing the mayor’s decisions and influencing policy and guidance.
The programme aims to champion diversity within the capital’s design and planning professions, with almost half of the advocates being women or from Black, Asian or other Minority Ethnic backgrounds.
Deputy mayor Jules Pipe said: “I’m delighted to welcome our new cohort of Design Advocates. They bring exceptional talent and commitment to their roles, ensuring that growth across the capital is inclusive, sustainable and of the highest quality.
“London’s built environment plays a crucial role in shaping how we live, work and connect. Our Mayor’s Design Advocates will help shape this and together, we will continue to build a fairer and better London for everyone.”
The new cohort will focus on three main objectives, improving the quality, sustainability and diversity of schemes under the mayor’s review, along with setting standards for design and place-making.
