Over the past few years ADF has been coming up through the ranks as a respected title, and now offers a broad range of project coverage, news and comment for its readership of 15,000 architects. In a tough commercial market the magazine has doubled its revenue in five years which is really impressive, and shows how the industry is recognising what ADF has achieved so far.

As well as previously editing long-established construc- tion monthly Building Products, my first magazine editor role was back in the mid-1990s running a specialised journal much-missed by many architects in the healthcare sphere. Hospital Development was the UK’s only publication dedicated to the honourable (and highly challenging) discipline of creating buildings for caring, and working with architects in the field gave me a lasting admiration for their skills, not to mention their resilience.
I will be looking to cover the widest gamut of architecture in ADF, and the freedom to do that is one of the magazine’s strongest suits. Other titles may spend a lot of time in the scrum trying to grab the latest attention-seeking ‘It’ project, but there are a great many

other high quality buildings out there which could get overlooked in the process.
ADF provides an important platform to celebrate not only high-profile statement buildings but also more modest, perhaps more humble mainstream schemes. The design of a local supermarket or university building could offer crucial pieces of insight for other practices tacking similar challenges, while providing delight and function.
Architecture is a mix of art, science and diplomacy and I think the special personality type that facilitates getting the balance right explains why I enjoy working with architects. They are often able to be genuinely passionate, while being rigorous, questioning and open-minded.
Their buildings are of course the lasting legacy which outlast political foibles and arguments around budgets, finding their own usefulness and function in the world (or not). They are more than bricks and mortar – they shelter and support us, and in our often unforgiving northern European climate, they are where we spend most of our lives. So quality is fundamental to human happiness.
Achieving that is often about the MVHR or a breathable membrane as much as cladding or space standards, so at ADF we recognise the importance of discussing all of the composite products that make up the whole.
Whether or not we stay in the EU, we are always going to need buildings which work and which offer joy. I look forward to celebrating them with you, and bringing you the ideas and insights from the people behind them.
