Culture, community, change with Angela Dapper

Culture, community, change with Angela Dapper

Author: Anylab Experimental Studio July 17, 2019 Duration: 27:56
This episode's guest is Angela Dapper, the principle of Grimshaw Architects leading hotel, commercial and cultural projects. This interview was recorded in Grimshaw Architects in London. Angela is currently focused on research and development of people based on buildings integrated with public space. Before joining Grimshaw, she was a Partner at Denton Corker Marshall Architects where she was involved in several landmark London projects. She led the design and construction of Stonehenge Exhibition and Visitor Centre. Following this success, Angela was shortlisted for the Architect's Journal Emerging Woman Architect of the Year. We talk about the culture of architecture, human-based design and gender equality in the discipline.

From the team at Anylab Experimental Studio comes AnylabTalks, a series of conversations that lives in the rich, often overlooked spaces where artistic practice, architectural thinking, and design philosophy converge. This isn't about surface-level trends or finished portfolios; it's about digging into the foundational stories and personal inquiries that actually shape creative work. You'll hear discussions that move from the grand scale of a city's form to the subtle detail of a material's texture, always with an ear for the narrative that changes how we see these disciplines. The podcast creates a particular kind of atmosphere-one where assumptions are gently dismantled and familiar concepts are turned over to reveal their undersides. Each episode feels like stepping into a studio mid-process, where the goal is less about definitive answers and more about fostering a genuine, deep reflection on what it means to make and think about the world around us. It's for anyone who believes that the most interesting ideas are found in the overlaps and collisions, and who enjoys listening as a conversation patiently unfolds toward new, unexpected points of contemplation. Tune in for a thoughtful exploration of the forces that quietly drive art, architecture, and design forward.
