Great to host Women in Architecture UK in our Clerkenwell Showroom!
Reflecting on our "Women in Architecture: Forging New Paths" event last week, we are filled with gratitude for everyone who attended. Thank you to our panellists: Sabrina Klor, Michela Carla Falcone, Angharad Palmer, Jean Wang, Laura Cushnie, Niya Ann Sharon, and host Tania Ihlenfeld for sharing their personal career stories which were truly inspiring. Here’s an overview of what our panellists covered: Sabrina Klor: Sabrina shared her experiences navigating the architecture field as a woman, rising to COO in one practice and emphasising the importance of inclusive policies and achieving work-life balance amidst professional challenges. Jean Wang: Jean discussed her transition from landscape architecture to a broader architectural practice, highlighting the importance of embracing diverse perspectives and mentorship in her professional development. Michela Falcone: Michela focused on discussing the unpredictability of career paths in architecture. She shared her own journey of unexpected shifts from working in Italy to Thailand, then Paris, and eventually starting her own practice and focused on teaching complex geometry. Laura Cushnie: Laura described her experiences with mentorship, detailing how guidance has clarified her career direction and enabled her to shift across vastly different sectors and explore new aspects of architecture, contributing to her growth as a leader. Angharad Palmer: Angharad reflected on her journey from architecture to client-side development, highlighting her passion for sustainable design and urban regeneration, and how embracing challenges has shaped her career and ‘anti-career’ outlook. Niya Sharon: Niya shared the challenges of establishing her own practice in India and receiving recognition for capabilities here in the UK. She expressed a candid, ‘how hard can it be’ mentality throughout her career and there is plenty more to come. Together, we celebrated diverse voices and built connections that will lead to future collaborations. Couldn’t make it? Catch up with the event recording on our website. Heartfelt thanks to our sponsors Solus, Bespoke Careers, and You See Media for their support. #WomenInArchitecture #ForgingNewPaths #Mentorship #ArchitecturalLeadership #Inclusion #Diversity #ArchitectureCommunity #ProfessionalGrowth Tania Ihlenfeld, Karen Fugle, Dr Ana McMillin, Yamon Phu Kyaw
