David Kann

Professional Conduct Committee, Architect Member

Biography

David Kann has been registered with the ARB and been a member of the RIBA since the 1970s. David went on to found and successfully manage the RIBA Chartered Practice of David Kann Associates for almost thirty years.

His experience included multidisciplinary professional services for new, existing and historic buildings, capital repairs and most requirements in between. All RIBA Plan of Work development stages were covered within a wide variety of appointment conditions and procurement for housing, education, community/religious and commercial projects in the public, voluntary and private sectors.

Although now David retired from David Kann Associates, with the intention of slowing down, he is as busy as before, but just differently. He maintains a much-reduced level of professional work through his company, Ionic Development Consultancy Limited. In a partial change of direction, David completed a Master’s Research degree in 2017 at Royal Holloway University of London and is currently studying part-time for a PhD at the University of Sheffield, both in Modern European History, to fill any remaining gaps arising from taking things easier.

In addition to being an architect member of the PCC for the ARB, David is also a member of RIBA’s Professional Conduct Panel for investigations and hearings, as well as a member of RIBA’s Core Group for the 2018 Code of Conduct Professional Review.
