BA Architecture Autumn Term Lecture 1: PLAY
Join BA Architecture for the first talk in the series with Austrian architect Barbara Kaucky, co-founder of Root and Erect.
For the fist talk in the BA Architecture Autumn Series, we host Austrian architect Barbara Kaucky, co-founder of Root and Erect, who will share her trajectory in practice, including the formation of Root and Erect architects. She will explore some of the ethical dilemmas inherent to professional collaborations and working for local authorities. Barbara will also present key projects of her practice, which comprise some of the most beautiful playgrounds designed in London in recent years.
Barbara Kaucky is an Austrian architect who studied in Vienna and Berlin before moving to London, where she co-founded Root And Erect (originally Erect Architecture) in 2003. Root And Erect is a feminist, RIBA Chartered architecture and landscape design practice. Guided by a belief in the common good the practice shapes shared spaces to engage, connect and empower communities, working at varying scales - from single buildings and play spaces to streetscapes and neighbourhoods. Root And Erect’s holistic, living- systems approach prioritises sustainability and enriches the fabric of city life.
Barbara serves on multiple design review panels and for several years chaired the RIBA Small Practice Group.
She is passionately invested in regenerative, living systems design and trains with Regenesis Group, a forerunner in the field of regenerative development.
Outside her professional life Barbara volunteers with Core Landscape, a mental health and gardening charity.
