The Grenfell Tragedy Changed Everything

This is an article summary from the Rethinking the Architectural Profession in the Post-Grenfell Era essay series written by enframe. Summaries available on the Building Safety wki and full articles via Substack links in each article.

In the wake of the Inquiry Phase Two Report, it’s clear that significant reform is needed across the architectural and construction professions. At Enframe, we’ve spent months reflecting, researching, and brainstorming solutions that can drive real change.

Our new series of articles tackles critical challenges like building safety, accountability, and the future of the architectural profession. From proposals such as creating a Principal Designer Register to rethinking how professional accountability is embedded in practice, our work is about sparking debate and offering actionable solutions.

This isn’t just critique—it’s a roadmap for a safer, more innovative built environment.
