BA [Arch.] Hons., Dip. Arch.
Richard Spencer was a registered architect in the UK from 1980 until 2024 when retirement caught up with him. Richard was a practice principal for over 25 years, and from the mid-1990s lead a global spread of aviation and transportation projects. Combining a broad range of experience gained on many landmark projects with a keen interest in all things aviation related, Richard became 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 was a chartered member of the RIBA throughout his career and was also an international associate of the American Institute of Architects, for whom he served two terms as president of the UK Chapter. He also served on the board of the AIA’s International Region.
