1:100 Architecture Podcast

Hey everyone, we're back with another episode but this time we are addressing the sensitive topic of mental health. Tired? Drained? Dehydrated? Sound familiar? Mental health comes in many different shapes and sizes and sometimes it isn't always distinguishable. In this episode, we address our personal experiences in architecture, how we experienced and dealt with our stresses and where we currently are now, post-graduation with our mental health. 

If you are experiencing extreme levels of stress, please reach out to your friends, family or local GP, but most importantly do not deal with this alone. For our UK listeners, there are immediate helplines such as Samaritans (116123) who are a 24 hour suicide-prevention helpline. 

More resources are available on our social media.

We're back with another episode here on the 1:100 podcast, the voice of creative women of colour. In today's episode, we touch on the pressures associated with architecture, how to distinguish these, where they come from and how to tackle the overall issue. We know we're late with this episode but forgive us, we're currently facing a global pandemic! Lucky for you guys, we're joined by our Ghanaian sister, Johannah! Johannah Fening is a Part 2 Architectural and Urban Designer who graduated from Oxford Brookes University in 2020 with distinction.  Her final project 'Reclaim Brixton' has been nominated for the 2020 RIBA Silver Medal Award. The project responded to the negative effects of government planning of urban spaces, addressing gentrification, acculturation and assimilation of Black migrants communities from an urban to a domestic scale.
