About This Event

Beyond the Drawing Board will take place on 29 October 2026 at London Metropolitan University. This talk will explore various career paths available to those with an architecture degree, featuring speakers who have pursued diverse professional routes. The event aims to broaden perspectives on the potential outcomes of architectural training.

Architectural practice isn't the only outcome of an architecture degree but can provide a strong foundation for many more careers.

There’s a familiar idea of what happens after architecture school: join a practice, work towards Part 3, and start building your career as an architect. But that is only one of many possible routes. This evening, we’ll hear from people who trained in architecture and went on to build careers in different ways, to share their experience and talk about how they got there.

Speakers:

Niralee Casson, Associate Partner, Technical Expert Witnesses at Ridge and Partners.

Olivia Gillam, Project Manager at Gardiner & Theobald.

Dr Julie Futcher, Chartered architect, urban climatologist and independent researcher

Machiko Wilson, Director of Human Truths, Interbrand Japan Strategy Group

Host: Taisiia-Lukiia Sakhuriia (ELAG)
