Blending Architecture, Design and Education for MAXIMUM IMPACT, ft. Kevin Haley

Blending Architecture, Design and Education for MAXIMUM IMPACT, ft. Kevin Haley

The strongest architecture education often comes from moving between studio, classroom, community work and the messy reality of making projects happen.

Stephen Drew speaks with Kevin Haley about blending architecture, design and education, founding Aberrant Architecture, working with communities and supporting students through practice and teaching.

The conversation covers:

  • How Kevin moved from music into design and architecture
  • What Aberrant Architecture learned from community-led projects
  • How the V&A residency shaped practice and public engagement
  • How teaching and practice can support each other
  • What students need from architecture education now
