The Architecture Foundation Young Trustees present the third event in a six-part series Life (not quite) Outside Architecture exploring disciplines outside traditional architectural practice.
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 this third event, they 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?
#3 Academia was recorded live on Wednesday 21 April and was hosted by Young Trustee Betty Owoo.
