Benjamin Champion - Slaying Dragons, Running for the RIBA Council and discussing a little bit of Architecture.
I am thrilled to kickstart our second season (woohoo!) of the Architecture Social's podcast with a resident host of the Architecture Social's community forum, Benjamin Champion. While Ben is a fantastic Architect at Sheehan Nagle Hartray Associates, he also happens to be a technology enthusiast and the gamemaster of our Dungeon and Dragons group on the Architecture Social.

The story so far.
The person behind the work.
Benjamin Champion is an architect based in London. He qualified in 2020 and joined the London studio of Sheehan Nagle Hartray Architects (SNHA), having studied architecture in Plymouth and gained early experience working alongside a practitioner in Munich.
Benjamin is an active member and moderator of the Architecture Social community, where he set up and ran the group's Dungeons and Dragons sessions and helped host its early book club and forum discussions.
In 2021 he stood for election to the RIBA Council associate seat. His aim was to give a younger professional a voice within the institute, to make the profession more public facing and easier for the public to engage with, and to improve how the RIBA connects with students and architectural assistants.
He is also a technology enthusiast with an interest in the overlap between gaming hardware and architectural rendering.
