Collaboration for better design outcomes, curiosity for the design profession and the power of community and collective action – listen in on this spirited conversation between Josephine Evans and Victoria Clarkson.
Our conversationalists for this session are Josephine Evans and Victoria Clarkson. Josephine is a Director at JPE Design Studio and the founder of the SA Creative Industries Think Tank. At the time of this recording, Victoria was a graduate of architecture at Grieve Gillett Andersen and a co-Chair of EmAGN SA.
As committed volunteers in the profession, Victoria and Josephine share the pleasures of participating in extracurricular activities, and the connectedness this brings. Both speak passionately about how we can be far more powerful as a collective, working together to make change. Similarly, the better design outcomes rely on prioritising good collaboration and strong communication.
Our speakers offer advice on the benefits of cultivating a deep curiosity and passion for the built environment, to commit to a process of discovery and to be patient about the outcomes. They delve into how this can better equip architects to navigate the challenges and complexities in their field of work in and around architecture.
This session was recorded live on Kaurna Country at the Adelaide Summer Salon. Held at the Brickworks Design Studio on 24 February 2021, it was organised by Ali McFadyen. Photographs: Ben Liew.
