Caroline Buckingham
In this episode, we feature Caroline Buckingham, an architect with over twenty-five years experience working in the industry in both the public and private sectors. Caroline established her independent architectural firm, Caroline Buckingham Architects, in 2013. She was a Director and the Head of Educational Design at HLM Architects, Non-Executive Director at Llewwlyn Davis and the Vice President of Practice and Profession at RIBA.
In Part 1 we discover how Caroline became an architect and the importance of engagement and developing a good brief. Why social areas in school buildings are critical and how to challenge perceptions with flexibility and adaptability, and why reviewing a roll of drawings is perhaps not the most appropriate use of your maternity leave.
In Part 2 we learn about Idea Foundation; her concept for creative co-working, and how a theatrical approach can help create spaces for creativity. We discover Caroline’s Top Trump attributes and why you shouldn’t lead with her Tech Skills category if you're playing Top Trumps.
