GROWTH with Analog Architecture and Situated Studio

Analog Architecture and Situated Studio are ambitious and distinctive Cardiff-based architecture and creative practices run by Rhian Thomas and Amanda Spence respectively. Having previously practiced together, they continue to collaborate on projects with arts, community and placemaking at their heart. In this talk, they’ll share their interwoven journeys in practice, and how their experience of creating and delivering ideas at the ‘edge’ of architecture – where it overlaps with art, landscape and research – have helped them grow personally and professionally.

They’ll show how their work is always underpinned by a critical response to site and brief; and how they approach projects with care for the impact they make on the environment and communities in which they exist; striving to create places which are beautiful, ethical, sustainable and capture the spirit of place. They’ll share examples of work shaped by themes of community growing, connecting with nature, imaginative play, social connection and well-being.
