About Rachel

Rachel completed her Architecture BA at the Canterbury School of Architecture where she received First Class Honours and was awarded the Purcell Prize for her final project. She then spent two years as an architectural assistant at JTP and Hawkins\Brown where she gained experience in mixed-use, residential, interior and urban planning projects. During this time she also won a drawing competition held at the practice, held RIBA Architecture Ambassador workshops to educate college students on architectural education and was a member of the team that won LFA’s competition for the first architecture float at London Pride, which was developed from concept through to construction.

She recently received her Masters from the Royal College of Art. Her first year work was with ADS 10 and centred around designing for collective rituals in Rome. During this time, she produced 1:1 prototypes of bioplastics made from waste. She exhibited her work at the exhibition Translations held at Arts Catalyst in 2019 which she also helped to curate. She also represented the RCA at the MegaCrit 2019 by presenting her work in front of a panel and audience at Westminster University.

During her second year she was in ADS 3 with tutors Cooking Sections which looked at the metabolism of substances in our bodies and the built environment. Focusing on calcium, the project questioned the role of architecture within reconstructed environments and its ability to transform the bodies and spaces which we inhabit. This project was selected as part of Deyan Sudjic, Director of the Design Museum’s curated collection for RCA2020 and was chosen to represent the ADS in the cross-crit for the summer show opening which Rachel presented to a wide audience. She is currently part of the multi-disciplinary collective Metabolic Selves which consists of designers and researchers from the RCA. Most recently, she has be working in collaboration with the Serpentine Galleries’ Back to Earth initiative and the General Ecology project, organising, curating and designing the exhibition alongside the collective.
