COFFEE WITH AN ARCHITECT | John Lancaster
Saturday 5th June 2021
11:00 - 12:30
ONLINE | ZOOM
Have you ever wondered what its actually like to work in architectural practice? Join the Edinburgh Architectural Association’s free event for the opportunity to gain an understanding of the nitty gritty of running projects, being part of a design team and the everyday life of a practicing architect.
Each session will be hosted by two members of the Edinburgh Architectural Association who will be joined by an Edinburgh-based architect as they informally discuss one of their current projects over a Saturday morning coffee.
Rather than focusing on beautiful renders and the finished project, the discussions will aim to delve into the details of the project process; planning and building warrant stages; construction drawings, design considerations and problem solving.
Unlike most online events, your questions won’t exclusively be saved for a Q&A session at the end. All participants are welcome to engage and guide the discussion. Although these events don’t require any attendee participation, we would like to actively encourage attendees to turn their cameras on throughout the event and actively engage in the discussions. You will have the opportunity to unmute and ask your own questions at different points throughout the event, or simply type questions into the chat box for our co-hosts to read out on your behalf.
Our next event speaker is John Lancaster, John is a Senior Architect at jmarchitects and has worked on a variety of project types and sizes across Scotland. He will be talking about his current project, a new build High School in Edinburgh, which he has led from the early design stages through to its current stage on site.
This event series is a unique opportunity for ESALA undergraduate students currently on placement, looking for a placement or just generally interested in learning more about being a practicing architect. So grab your Saturday morning beverage of choice and we look forward to seeing you there!
Please note that this event is exclusively for ESALA undergraduate students.
