The Prince’s Foundation for the Built Environment

Design Theory & Networks

The Design Theory & Networks department headed up by Peter Quintanilla engages in activities with an extended network of design professionals and Foundation members. It is responsible for advancing and disseminating the organisation’s underlying design theory - originating from HRH’s principles in the built environment - enriched by 10 Senior Fellows who contribute to different fields of expertise.

The department advises on network referrals to charities of whom HRH is Patron, and is developing a broad base of scrutinised network practitioners to carry out The Prince’s Foundation for the Built Environment’s mission.

Additionally, the team also contributes to Duchy of Cornwall built environment initiatives, manages a health portfolio of education and practice, runs seminars and think-tanks, as well as undertaking speaking engagements and other outreach work. Additionally, Design Theory & Networks works closely with the Membership Officer to develop and maintain our Professional Membership Programme.
