INTERVENTION ARCHITECTURE

摘要

Who are you?We are a team of five full-time staff with a mix of two architects, two Part 2 architectural assistants and one Part 1 architectural assistant. I set up the practice in January 2015. How did your practice come about and why did you decide to base it in Birmingham? After qualifying in London and working in small practice culture there, I moved back to my home city of Birmingham. I worked for a large firm (as they dominate the scene here) but missed the intimate project relationships and nimbleness that small practices have. So I set one up with no money, no family connections and no experience of running a business. The studio has been building up slowly from there. I am a part-time tutor at the Birmingham School of Architecture and Design, a job which has supported the studio financially and given a platform to test research ideas and to find employees.
