Muyiwa Oki, who is currently employed at global construction company – Mace Group, shared how this victory will enable a more inclusive future within the architecture profession. He ensures that “those who feel disenfranchised and under-represented” will be heard.
“I am grateful to the grassroots movement whose support and passion offered a platform to represent architectural workers. Most of all a special thanks to those members and nominators, that responded to this movement, tuned in, and voted – especially those that did so for the first time.
We can be proud of an election where people of colour, at different stages of their careers, of all identities, can be heard and seen bidding to represent the profession. I hope this is the start of many great things to come for those who feel disenfranchised and under-represented.
I am proud of my campaign, the discourse has been positive, energetic, and inspirational. It has been a privilege to run alongside Jo and Sumita and as RIBA council and Board members, I am looking forward to working with you both to deliver equity, transparency, and innovation in architecture.”
The current RIBA President, Simon Allford congratulated Muyiwa Oki, who according to him, “led a commendable campaign with an electoral manifesto focused on the future of the profession.”
An ambassador for the Mayor of London: Design Future London challenge, Muyiwa Oki was previously an Architect at London Studio Grimshaw Architects, where he founded the Multi-Ethnic Group and Allies network, and drove cultural change for colleagues globally.
Throughout his career, Muyiwa has worked on large-scale infrastructure projects, such as HS2 Euston and the North London heat and power project.
Muyiwa speaks to, and mentors aspiring architects in various programmes designed to encourage greater social mobility within the industry.
Congratulations Muyiwa Oki on your achievement.

Amazing blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers?
I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally overwhelmed ..

My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a number of websites for
about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform.
I have heard very good things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it?
Any help would be really appreciated!
