The Power of Involvement in Architectural Discourse, ft. Dolunay Dogahan

Architecture media matters when it creates space for honest professional conversation, not just polished project coverage.

Stephen Drew speaks with Dolunay Dogahan, founder and editor of Involved Magazine, about architecture media, education, RIBA, early-career experiences, work cultures, long hours, gender disparities, wellbeing, positive change and getting involved.

The conversation covers:

Why independent architecture media can support students and assistants
How employer culture affects wellbeing, retention and confidence
Why long hours and gender disparities need open discussion
How RIBA and the wider profession were being questioned at the time
What early-career professionals can do to get involved and build a voice
