As I believe continuous learning is essential, this year I am involved in postgraduate studies on sustainability myself, with focus on participation practices, community engagement and natural material construction techniques.

Next a warm welcome to Eva ☀️

Bio:
Hello, I am Eva, a qualified architect based in Glasgow, and since my academic years I have always been interested in the social aspects and impact of architecture, through the lens of research for design.

🧵

[Guest Critics @GuestCritics]

I am eager to see social design and mindset becoming an integral part of architectural education and this is the reason I joined the Guest Critics group.

[Guest Critics @GuestCritics]

First up, meet Kirsty a fellow guest critic 👋

Bio:
My work centres around equity in design and in particular I am passionate about the importance of inclusive and supportive places within historical urban environments.

[Guest Critics @GuestCritics]

I hope to offer a perspective on architecture that is fully grounded in the environment in which it sits through effective consideration of the local community and end users, pushing a consideration of the wider impact of architecture on society.
