In Episode 6 of A is for Architecture, I speak with Lee Ivett, course leader at the Grenfell Baines Institute of Architecture, University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN), as well as director of Baxendale, a practice based in Glasgow and Preston.

Lee’s critically acclaimed body of work includes small and medium-scale projects in a very broad range of places and contexts across Europe, and addresses themes relating to the social role of architecture-as-programme, rather than as (just) stuff and space.

I met Lee through work at the art school in Glasgow, eventually joining him as a director of Baxendale between 2015 and 2018, working with him on The Happenstance, Scotland’s collaborative architecture, art and design installation at the 2018 Venice architecture biennale.
