Alastair Parvin
England
I am a fourth-year architecture student at the University of Sheffield; currently in London working on my year-out at Richard Rogers Partnership. My design work is increasingly concerned with time as a dimension of architecture and based on my opinion that architecture should be a participatory and crucially, socially beneficial activity- the end product of which is less important than the process of getting there. |

I am 31 years and currently living in Glasgow. My Masters degree from the University of Waterloo, completed in 2004, focused on high-speed rail travel in the Netherlands, incorporating research relating to historical/ contemporary landscapes, landscape painting and theories of speed and travel, culminating in my proposal for a large-scale transportation centre in Rotterdam. Since graduation, I have worked as an adjunct lecturer to a fourth-year architecture studio in Rome. After moving to Glasgow three years ago, I began work with Anderson Bell Christie, where I was involved in social housing and urban master-planning/ development frameworks. I currently work at macmon in Glasgow, where I have been running a Learning-Disability Resource Centre project in Livingston. I feel quite fortunate being involved with this job as the building type is currently unprecedented in Scotland and has involved a very challenging (and rewarding) design process. I am still very interested in the reciprocity between architecture and landscape, and see this as informing my design work at every scale. |
