- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 24 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Tue, 24 Mar, 2026 at 08:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Sadie Morgan and Melkan Gürsel on leadership and gender equity. Delivered in partnership with VitrA Bathrooms.About this EventToday, few senior leadership positions in architecture are held by women. So how can we break down barriers, and what can we learn from those leading the way?Join internationally acclaimed architects, Sadie Morgan OBE and Melkan Gürsel, for an evening of insight, inspiration, and honest conversation about leadership and gender representation in architecture today. In conversation, Sadie and Melkan will share career-defining projects, and discuss their experiences co-founding and leading major practices across the cultural and professional landscapes of the UK and Turkey, as women in a profession that is still far from equal.Sadie co-founded dRMM in the 1990s, taking it to the multi award-winning practice it is today. Melkan similarly joined TA_Tabanlıoğlu Architects as partner in 1995 and helped grow it into one of Eurasia’s most recognised award-winning practices. Both are passionate advocates and change-makers around gender equality, and both bring first-hand experience in leadership, design advocacy positions and infrastructure projects.The event takes place during Women’s History Month, and follows the recent release of Build it Together, a landmark report we commissioned on women’s experiences in architecture, produced by the Fawcett Society. While gender inequality is not unique to architecture, its impact on who shapes our built environment – and how – is significant. This event celebrates the remarkable achievements of women breaking down barriers, advocating for fairer futures, and asks how we can continue creating a design profession that better reflects the diverse communities it serves.Who is the event for?This event is for anyone curious about architecture, cities, leadership and building more inclusive futures in and beyond architecture. It forms part of our public programmes, bringing conversations about architecture and the built environment to all.Event formatThis event will be chaired by Yẹmí Aládérun, Head of Development at Ealing Council and a leading voice on equitable housing and inclusive regeneration. Yẹmi will lead a discussion with Sadie and Melkan about their careers, the progress made toward gender equality, and the work still to be done across the built environment profession.You'll then have the chance to ask questions during an audience Question and Answer session. After this, stay for a drinks reception and further conversation.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/3ad8d6f0-0c12-11f1-9d1a-cbb202d0aa19-rimg-w1200-h295-dcffffff-gmir.jpg About our talks programme delivered in partnership with VitrA Bathrooms2026 marks the eighth year of our partnership with VitrA Bathrooms, curating talks that celebrate emerging and established voices at the forefront of international architecture.This year’s theme, Excellence in Design, explores some of the values and evolving priorities shaping architecture today as we celebrate 60 years of the RIBA Awards and 30 years of the Stirling Prize.Venue informationdoors will open at 6.30pm for a 7pm startthe event will take place in the Great Hall at BMA House, Tavistock Square, Londonthe nearest tube station is Euston Station, approximately 350 metres from the venue.
