This week, I have taken over the @women_in_architecture_ni Instagram account: "a supportive platform for women in architecture and those aspiring to be them" Please follow us! #architecture #womeninarchitecture #northernireland @ArchitectureNI

Final reviews done! Can't wait to see the completed portfolios. So proud of our @QUBarch undergrad studio #CivicStage who have been working tirelessly despite the circumstances (and cruelly good weather) to create beautiful and excellent work. @OGU_Arch #MarkToddArchitects

We are delighted to be taking part in Ask an Architect for Friends of the Cancer Trust: book a no-strings online chat about your potential project here eventbrite.co.uk/e/ogu-archi… when you give £40 to charity. #wfh #Belfast @ArchitectureNI #askanarchitect @JillToddTrust

This exhibition is about #industrialheritage, #prefabrication and #factories in the city. It is up @EastSideVC all weekend - it's free knowledge to put into your head! PLUS there's great coffee downstairs, which you can also put in your head at the same time. #winwin

Thanks @AislingRusk @_jamesgrieve for inviting me to speak alongside five incredible #womeninarchitecture (@QUBarch's Sarah Lappin @oscarandoscarNI Bronagh Lynch Martina Murphy @Aine_McEnoy) last night in a beautiful room hosted by @consarc_design @ArchitectureNI @belfastdesignwk

Happy Diwali all! Remembering this special time in 2013 on a rooftop with my Agra family.

Very proud of my wonderful friend Chanda Singh who has written this beautiful book

@QUBarch @QUBelfast engineering and architecture students discuss their analysis of the impact of structural design on retrofit projects in their combined module today with the wonderful Guido #mcgoniglemcgrath and Jenny #isherwoodandellis

Congratulations, @AlanJones2008 on delivering your inaugural lecture as @QUBarch professor and introducing your new book looking at #professionalism in #architecture

Aaaand we're off. Today Dr David Hester and I launched the @QUBelfast joint module between stage 3 architecture and engineering students, who will design structural interventions in existing buildings over the next twelve weeks. #crossdiscipline #readyforpractice @QUBarch

(and some 'before' shots):

Using the bank holiday to work on a new project (more soon!) and as inspiration I'm looking back at this unique #heritage restoration I was lucky enough to work on in collaboration with @CURE_INDIA and #ARCSR @TheCassArt. These are construction pics from 2018.
