2020: A year of disruption, but also of positive transformation
2020: un año de disrupción, pero también de transformación positiva
2020 has been a challenging year for all of us, and the architecture sector is no exception. It has been a year of disruption, a lot of it unwelcome, but, in some respects, disruption has been a force for positive change.
Chapman Taylor has been using the pandemic experience to test new ways of working, to re-examine assumptions and to renew our advocacy for fundamental change to ensure that our built spaces are socially, economically and environmentally sustainable and fit to meet the challenges of the coming decades.
Our Business Continuity Plan ensured a smooth transition from studio-based working to remote working for the lockdown periods in spring and late autumn, minimising interference with our processes and ensuring continuity of service for our clients.
As part of our ongoing strategy for successfully transitioning Chapman Taylor’s business leadership to a new generation, our CEE Lead Director Jon Hale and our Madrid studio’s Managing Director Mikel Barriola were appointed to Chapman Taylor’s Group Board on 1 September, joining existing Group Board Members Chris Lanksbury, Adrian Griffiths, Tim Partington and Michael Cottam. Broadening our business leadership to include our international studios will help ensure sustainable and successful international growth in the years to come

We have many projects under construction in countries across the world and in all our key market sectors. With our continued emphasis on designing and delivering world-class, ambitious and commercially realistic designs, we look forward to 2021 seeing a strong recovery from the COVID-19-related slowdown and opportunities opening up in brand new markets.
