Studio Moren Partner John Harding is the focus of this month's FC&A Magazine Architect in Profile

Nice to see Studio Moren Partner John Harding taking centre spot in this month’s FC&A Magazine Architecture in Profile Q&A. John discusses his favourite projects, go-to architects and thoughts on sustainability in this exclusive interview.

Asked what he feels to be the greatest challenge for architects today, John says: “We live in a rapidly-changing world, and climate change is top of the list for everyone on the planet, in my opinion. That and the new regulatory regime we find ourselves in following the introduction of the Building Safety Act. It is clear that architects need to be in a position to lead the whole design team, advise their clients sensibly and be indispensable. This might require a change of thinking on the part of the profession, but we are ideally suited to the role.”

John says that his most notable project to date is the multi-storey Travelodge London Docklands because it was delivered on a brownfield site on budget, three months early “and just missed achieving BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ by a gnat’s whisker!”
