MULTISTORY* Guest Lecture Annalie Riches Thursday 4th October 6pm



We are pleased to announce a MULTISTORY* guest lecture by

Annalie Riches // Mikhail Riches Architects

Thursday 4th October 2018 // Lecture 6pm

Annalie Riches established Mikhail Riches Architects to improve the quality of housing and neighbourhoods in the UK. Her focus is on the delivery of projects that change the perceptions of the places they touch, making enjoyable new places, as well as great homes.

Annalie contributes across all the scales of architectural practice; she is recognised for her masterplanning and strategic abilities, as well as her in-depth knowledge of housing. Annalie is also well known for her ‘hands on’ expertise in architectural design and detailing. Her projects include Velocity, the winning entry to the 2018 Infrastructure Commission Competition for providing 200,000 new homes between Oxford and Cambridge. She is also leading on Park Hill Phase 2, plus projects for Croydon Council’s company Brick by Brick.

Annalie studied architecture at Sheffield, after which she joined the circus on the static trapeze. Two years out in Paris saw her working for celebrated engineer Peter Rice. Annalie went ‘on the tools’, building her own house, Whatcotts Yard in 2002 - she did all the electrics and plumbing herself, knowing these trades are the most expensive. The project subsequently won the 2004 RIBA / AJ first Building award.

Annalie is a visiting Professor of Architecture at Sheffield University. She was selected to judge the 2018 RIBA International Awards plus the Stirling Prize Shortlist. Annalie contributes her experience to The Camden Design Review Panel, The Harringay Design Review Panel and is an External Examiner for The University of Westminster.
