Are you stuck in an architecture vacuum? Do all your friends wear black turtlenecks and share endless Dank Lloyd Wright memes?
If you’re looking for a fresh perspective, then you've come to the right place. Over the next few months, the AF Young Trustees are hosting a collection of divergent voices, from disciplines covering public sector, community, development, curation, journalism, academia and more - all the speakers have one thing in common; they all started out studying architecture.
The seemingly predetermined marathon towards obtaining the coveted architect title sends people down a path which rarely leaves an opportunity to pause and question the direction it takes them. This series brings together those voices that at some point questioned their destination and applied their skills in a different environment.
In the third event, we talk to Nana Biamah-Ofosu, an architect, researcher, writer and co-founder of Studio Nyali, Helena Howard, an architect with a research interest in colour and light, and Anna Mill, a designer, artist and published author with a background in architecture, to explore what happens when you step inside the hallowed halls of academia. We will ask them what drives their research practice, what they do in their current role, and their top tips for breaking into the world of research and teaching. Is it really all about being “good” at architecture, and about who you know? Or is it about finding value in the things that matter to you?
