On 1 January 2026, Chris Williamson let his registration with the Architects Registration Board lapse.

The sitting President of the Royal Institute of British Architects can no longer legally call himself an architect.

"Since I was 18 it's all I've ever wanted to do. But to be asked to pay an annual fee (which is increasing each year) to the ARB for the title - when the function isn't regulated seems madness."

Filmed weeks before he went public, this clip catches a moment of total conviction.

From being told architecture wasn’t for “the likes of him” to shaping global cities through Weston Williamson + Partners, Williamson questions where power, purpose, and influence in architecture really sit now.
