  • Voices of Transformation: A Conversation with EPR Architects

    Voices of Transformation: A Conversation with EPR Architects
    Jan 28 2025
    In this conversation we discuss what it means to transform an monumental building like the OWO - the Old War Office - and the voices that contribute to the past, present and future of the space. To unpack the OWO, we're joined by David Scowcroft (Project Director) and Charlotte Partridge (Associate Director) from EPR Architects - one of the key partners for the LFA. During the conversation David and Charlotte explore the process of undertaking a transformation like this, the people involved, and the hidden stories that have arisen through their journey with the project.

  • Voices of the city: Unpacking the LFA2025 Theme

    Voices of the city: Unpacking the LFA2025 Theme
    Nov 12 2024
    Architecture is not only about creation; it’s about listening, amplifying, and intertwining the voices that make up our spaces, stories, and neighbourhoods. In this conversation Rosa Rogina and Dhruv Gulabchande explore the chosen theme for the London Festival of Architecture (LFA) 2025: 'Voices'. During the conversation, the two discuss mentorship, urban narratives, and taking action through engagement, as well as unpack the relationship of people's stories and the importance of listening to and amplifying a diverse range of voices in the built environment which sits at the core of LFA. About the speakers: Rosa Rogina is the Director of London Festival of Architecture, leading on the strategic development of the Festival, LFA competitions and wider consultancy work. In parallel, Rosa also teaches architecture at the University of East London. Previously, she has co-curated the Montenegro Pavilion at the 2018 Venice Biennale and was curator in residence at Vienna Design Week 2020. Alongside his role as LFA2025 Curation Panel member, Dhruv Gulabchande is an Architect and Associate Director at HFM Architects, currently teaching at Central Saint Martins, with previous roles at the University of Sheffield, and Brighton. He leads non-profit mentoring platform, Narrative Practice, where his research focuses on promoting diversity through integrating long-term mentoring into practice and academia. In recognition of his work, he has recently been selected as a RIBAJ Rising Star. Narrative Practice is an architectural mentoring and research platform that aims to improve diversity and representation within the profession.

  • Sustainable design meets student wellbeing: A conversation with tp bennett and COBE

    Sustainable design meets student wellbeing: A conversation with tp bennett and COBE
    Aug 21 2024
    In this conversation we discuss what it means as architects and designers to prioritise holistic sustainability, considering the impact of our proposals both for the people using the spaces we design, alongside the impact on the planet. To reimagine the typology of purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA), with architectural and philosophical ideas, we're joined by Thomas Krarup (Cobe), Chiara Cozzolino and Vicki Odili (tp bennett). The trio share their thoughts on how to get the best out of opportunities for collaboration - especially in our historic, eclectic and nonhomogenous capital city of London- their interest in the intangible elements facilitated by good design such as community, wellbeing, comfort and happiness and how their robust approach to the future of student accommodation utilises lessons learnt from past projects and students lived experience, alongside building physics, scientific research and the latest in computational design. Key term breakdown: Passivhaus. The Passivhaus standard primarily considers key building physics concepts to reduce in-use operational energy. This must be considered in the whole life cycle with embodied carbon to mitigate climate change and deliver meaningful benefits to students and the wider communities. This sustainability accreditation closely aligns with the people and planet-centric approach of the project(s) spoke about, delivering optimum thermal comfort and air quality through a fabric-first approach.
