Archity

For the final episode of the first part of the Perspectives Podcast, we have a talk with Simon Keeling, co-founder of Insitu London; a youth filled, forward thinking practice who prefer to have their feet on the ground working with local communities, asking the right questions to find innovative solutions. Simon talks us through his inspiration and thoughts on the future of the design industry, his belief in the respect due to the youthful members of the industry and how our connections may lie in less explored areas of society.

Episode 03 brings together three black female designers, Melissa Haniff, Angelene Clarke and Nana Biamah-Ofosu to discuss networking within the frame of race. Melissa, Angelene and Nana each come from different areas of the industry; Melissa working with Brick by Brick and Resolve Collective, Angelene is a practitioner in spatial design through Bearded Ladies, and Nana is both a student and tutor, as well as a researcher and a writer.

Episode 02 of the Perspectives podcast features the lovely Rachael Hymas of the platform If Not Now Then When? IF NOT NOW THEN WHEN? is more than just a brand, it is a mantra that Rachael lives by. It is a platform created to inspire and uplift creative entrepreneurs, because she believes that 'your aspirations are attainable'. Rachel does this through podcasts, events and creative content. She has put so much of herself into creating this wonderful platform, that it offers a level of authenticity not often seen in the world today. We are absolutely thrilled to have her as a guest, to listen to and learn from, and we know you'll enjoy this one too!

This show is dedicated to looking at the different approaches to networking and events within the design industry. Considering issues such as access to knowledge and age bias, the show aims to both inspire and direct change. Archity is a new platform created to help connect those in the industry to knowledge, people and inspiration, through access to better networking and events.
