“Taking Care: reflections on responsible practice” – a lecture by the architect and thinker for the Thinkspace series.
Sarah Wigglesworth was the founder and director of her London-based architectural practice from 1994-2024. Acknowledged as a pioneering influence in British Architecture, her practice worked in the public sector and focused on exploring ecological building types, for which it won many awards. For 20 years Sarah was Professor of Architecture at the University of Sheffield where she introduced the PhD by Design and led DWELL, a research project into older people’s housing and neighbourhoods. Sarah is a Director of Part W CIC, working for gender equity in the built environment. She has authored two books and many articles, and is currently writing a memoir.
