WAS has launched an Alumni Lecture series this year, free for students and recent graduates. We’re excited to announce our first speaker, Angela Brady.
I met Angela through my work at the Architectural Benevolent Society and she was lovely enough to let us take over her studio for the summer exhibition. She struck me as an incredibly energetic and pro-active person – quite inspiring. This time, Angela agreed to come talk to us about her work and hopefully inspire even more people to persevere and achieve their architectural dreams.

The pressures of proposing new models that not only fulfill an aesthetic brief, but also are environmentally friendly, keep up with technology, economy, and other restraints falls mainly on the architects. Buildings can strongly influence our welfare and general happiness, be it where we live, work, or play. Join us to hear from Angela Brady about the social life of buildings and how architects can design to encourage interaction in communities in the changing contemporary urban context.
