Interdisciplinary Networks Towards Interdisciplinary Pathways
*Interdisciplinary issues require interdisciplinary networking and collaboration* - Last week had some fantastic highlights putting this into practice:
💥 ⚡ Honoured to be invited as a discussion leader for the Association of Architectural Educators Conference Summit at Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University with excellent speakers (Muyiwa Oki, Dan Benham, Charlie Edmonds, Sarah Ackland, Caroline Almond) - discussed the need for systems based thinking, safety in education and transformative shifts in both industry and education together with public and private sector - interdisciplinary collaboration a must in sustainable approaches and crisis response with a wider built environment lens, potential for extended co-benefits ; health, well-being.

💥⚡ Delighted to be invited to the Royal College of Art Services Design Masters show where my brilliant mentee Amruta Supate received great recognition for her and her teams efforts - Beyond receiving top marks, the project showcased an important and realistic proposal that tackled the energy and transportation crisis by linking the two and provided an integrated service-based solution for neighbourhoods while revitalising community assets - already in talks with potential investors.

Simultaneously, her work on a Wetlands Conservation Awareness Platform received excellent feedback and was undertaken with the support of Design for Good Royal College of Art - open to funding conversations, do get in touch with Amruta Supate for more information.
