Louise Cox head UIA honcho

Australian architect Louise Cox was appointed president of the International Union of Architects last month in Turin. We’d better find some more out about her. Judging from her bio she is pretty well ready for the job. Sadly her competitor for the job, Giancarlo Ius, died on the day of the elections – she has said that she will honour his policies as well as her own. So what will she do?

Louise Cox has placed sustainable professional practices at the heart of her presidential programme and is committed to energetically supporting the international continuing education system. In her own words, Louise Cox “wants to make UIA an inclusive, respectful, tolerant, and visionary organisation, working to ameliorate poverty and homelessness.”
