About our Yorkshire SEPN
Founded in 2021, our Yorkshire Small and emerging practice network has grown into a dynamic forum covering a wide range of architectural topics. Past meetings have explored architectural fees, planning and the housing crisis, climate challenges, and opportunities in timber design, to more unconventional themes such as architectural photography.
The group was established with a core vision: to encourage collaboration by providing a safe and supportive space where members can share knowledge, best practices, and experiences. In essence, this community functions like a large practice, with our monthly meetings serving as a ‘water cooler’ moment and a place to exchange ideas, gain insights, and foster professional connections.
