The Future Trends survey was launched by the RIBA in January 2009 and was designed to monitor the employment and business trends affecting the architectural profession throughout the period of economic downturn. Launched as part of a suite of recession-focused initiatives, the survey is completed monthly by a sample representing a cross-section of members. The survey is focused on areas in which members may face potential difficulties, including workload, staff levels and work in specific sectors. Monthly results are independently analysed in order to identify the employment and business trends affecting the profession and to help to identify implications for the profession and inform further RIBA activities.
