Aziz Mirza

 

While studying for a degree in Human Geography Aziz developed a passion for manipulating data and a desire to undertake practical, rather than academic, research. After graduating he spent four years working for the social services department of Buckinghamshire County Council – where he carried out research into projects ranging from straight forward statistical number-crunching exercises to highly sensitive research into why foster placements had broken down. 

This was followed by a posting as Research Manager at the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), where he managed the transformation of the institute's research role from pure data collection (the “Statistics Department”) into a more forward-looking “Market Research Unit”. Highlights were producing Market Opportunities for Architects which the Architects Journal called “the best report of its kind ever to emerge from Portland Place”; and the RIBA's Information Pack for Architects on working in Europe.

Aziz is the editor of Construction Futures, the quarterly report on the outlook for construction. He has contributed articles to Architecture Today and the RIBA Journal.
