Architectural practice is full of complex decisions, from design strategies to business operations. As the industry faces increasing pressure to deliver sustainable, effective and accountable outcomes, embracing evidence-based decision making is not just valuable – it’s vital. Watch this insightful webinar which addresses the issue of decision making in architecture practice and identifies some practical initiatives to enhance your processes. Originally held 19 August 2025.
In this webinar, presenter Dr Christian Criado-Perez, explores the sources of evidence that decision-makers in the AEC sector draw on, a framework for decision-making that can foster evidence-based practice and focuses on the use and application of evidence from scientific research. Finally, Christian takes attendees through a number of promising initiatives that can help organisations engage more in evidence-based practice.
This webinar was conducted in collaboration with Arch_Manu: ARC Centre for Next-Gen Architectural Manufacturing ITTC.
