DAVID McDONALD BSc DipTP DipConsAA IHBC is the IHBC’s Education Secretary and Chair of the IHBC London Branch. He led the Conservation and Design Team at the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea for 24 years - until the recent cuts. During this period, as an embattled conservation officer, he has encountered, enchanted, enervated, endured, enraged, educated and experienced every egocentric architectural practice engaged in designing interventions for powerful clients throughout the Royal Borough. David has survived to tell AABC the tale….. He originally graduated as a geographer and geologist before qualifying as a Town Planner and completed the AA Diploma in Building Conservation while working at the London Borough of Camden. He is currently an independent historic environment consultant, specialising in providing heritage training for other built environment professionals. [email protected]

A Director of the consultancy UDS, Rob has extensive editorial experience (including AJ News Features Editor and Deputy Editor, Town and Country Planning, Shelter’s Roof - and is currently Editor of IHBC’s Context) and is an accomplished communicator, teacher, consultant, cult figure and cartoonist (the best of 20 years cartooning in AJ, Planning, Context etc. is collected and published in Plandemonium). Rob is acclaimed for his subversive humour, excoriating eloquence, wicked wit, diverting discourse, acerbic analyses and scintillating sagacity.
