After six rewarding years teaching the final-year diploma at the London School of Architecture, Matt decided it was time for a change of scenery and a new set of challenges. This September, he joined the Welsh School of Architecture, where he started teaching a third-year undergraduate design unit alongside Elliot Wang.
Matt notes his time at the London School of Architecture was truly special. He feels very fortunate to have worked with such inspiring colleagues and staff, and to have taught so many talented, energetic students — many of whom are now out in practice doing incredible things. He is proud of what the team achieved at the LSA, and he wishes the school continued success under its new leadership.
At the Welsh School of Architecture, Matt is really enjoying being part of a unit that’s rethinking the idea of the nuclear family home — exploring how housing can better support social exchange and collaboration within communities. The unit’s focus is on rural and semi-rural contexts, and how these places are responding to the pressures of housing demand, remote working, and tourism — all of which shape local identity, land use, and ecology in profound ways.
We look forward to sharing more about the Units experiments soon.
