‘Design for Life’ returns this November – Part 4

‘Design for Life: Fire Safety, Building Resilience and the Principal Designer’ returns this November

A six-week professional development course designed for architects and built environment professionals seeking to demonstrate competence in fire safety, health, and life safety under post-Grenfell legislation.

Responding to the tragic fire at Grenfell Tower, and the passing of the Building Safety Act 2022, the course covers fire and life-safety design from a number of perspectives, outlining the regulatory context, insurers requirements, spatial and technical design principles, risk management, and the end-user experience. Participants will gain practical knowledge to support their role as Principal Designers and prepare for mandatory professional competence assessments.

The course will be delivered online, with one optional in-person session, across six Fridays from 7 November – 12 December 2025.

The course is delivered by a team of leading experts in fire safety, building design, and regulation.

  • Liam Ross – Senior Lecturer in Architecture, University of Edinburgh; author of Pyrotechnic Cities
  • Paul Bussey – Chartered Architect; RIBA Expert Advisory Group on Fire Safety; Senior Technical Consultant at AHMM

They are joined by a multidisciplinary team of contributors who have shaped the discourse on fire-safety design since Grenfell including:

  • Jane Duncan OBE – Architect, former president of the RIBA, chair Expert Advisory Group on Fire Safety, Architectural Adviser to the Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission
  • Samaneh Moafi – Assistant Director of Research at Forensic Architecture
  • Peter Apps – Author of the Orwell Prize-winning book Show Me The Bodies
  • Giles Grover – Campaigner with End Our Cladding Scandal and Manchester Cladiators
  • Chris Miles – Commercial director of the Fire Protection Association
  • Samantha Peat – Chair of the Construction Leadership Council’s Professional Indemnity Insurance

Registration is now open! You can read more and book your place here.
