Richard Spencer qualified as an architect in the UK in 1980, has been a practice principal for 25 years, including 18 leading aviation and transportation on a global spread of projects, and is now the Woods Bagot Design Director for airport projects. Combining a broad range of experience gained on many landmark projects with a keen interest in all things aviation related, Richard has become an expert in this field and has spoken extensively at airport conferences, published articles and been interviewed on TV discussing airport design and development.
Richard’s particular skills include airport master planning, terminal planning & design and capacity analysis. His communication skills and experience of practice management has translated into strong team and project leadership abilities. Richard is fascinated by the fact that however much the challenges faced by airports around the world are similar, the most appropriate solution is invariably unique to each individual airport.
Richard is a past president of the American Institute of Architects UK Chapter and has served on the board of the AIA’s International Region.
