Architectural and urban practice Roz Barr established her practice, Roz Barr Architects in 2010. The 8-strong practice has completed in projects in London, Scotland, Spain and New York. Much of their work involves restoration and refurbishment such as that of St Augustine's Church in
West London, of the Goodenough Club in
Bloomsbury, and of the
Bishopgate Institute in the
City of London. In 2019 the practice was successful in winning the international competition for the new Fashion Galleries at the
V+A Museum, London, and in 2020, was selected to design two buildings within the new development called the Design District in London joining 8 other eminent international architectural practices. An in-house workshop allows the studio to create these hand-crafted models and explore other three dimensional material throughout their design process.
Other Involvements Barr has taught at the
Architectural Association, the
Bartlett School of Architecture,
UCL, London, and the
Kingston School of Art and Design where she currently chairs a masters unit that she formed in 2019. Her former role as Vice-President of Education at the
RIBA (2013–2016) follows her involvement with promoting education and how architecture and design is taught. Her experience as a young female architect means she is a champion of diversity and equity within
further education, and has been involved with the
RIBA Validation panel for over 15 years, gaining insight into how architectural education is taught globally. As well as chairing exploratory panels in the UK she has led visits to Colombia, Sri Lanka, Beirut, Azerbaijan and Argentina. == Projects ==
