Alex Ely is the director of Mae Architects, a Stirling Prize-winning London-based practice known for their approach to sustainable, resilient, and socially conscious architecture and urbanism.


In this episode, Alex and Dave discussed:

  • The significance of winning the Stirling Prize in 2023 and how its impact on the practice has gone far beyond the architecture industry.
  • Why having a clear mission statement and a set of values that employees can identify with makes it much easier to consistently communicate those values to the outside world.
  • The importance of undertaking post-occupancy studies of completed projects, and why these insights can be so valuable to future clients and projects.
  • How collaborating with larger practices in the early days of the STUDIO gave them the experience needed to undertake much larger projects and provide their clients with a better mix of ideas and design outcomes.
  • How to find the right balance between photography that highlights the architectural and spatial qualities of a building versus the experiences and enjoyment of end users occupying and using the building.
