S3. Ep 3. In conversation with Lauren Di Pietro from Scene Architects
Description
In this episode I am joined by Lauren Di Pietro from Scene
Architects, a multi-disciplinary architectural practice focused on innovation and sustainability with offices in Chelmsford, London Mayfair and York.
We discuss where Lauren’s love for old buildings came from
and how this then led to her interest in designing for dementia and how care and conservation are intertwined.
We talk about how Lauren works on a project and what needs to be considered when you are developing designs that need to be sympathetic to the building, client and the occupants irrespective of whether it is listed or not. The constraints when you are working on a listed building to make them accessible and practical whilst respecting the significance of the building.
We touch on sustainability and how it feeds into the design
process and the types of conversations she has with clients. Along with what net zero means, how climate change fits in with a design and the life cycle of a building and the meaning behind the triangle on a project.
Lauren’s passion is infectious. It will be a thought
provoking listen for anyone embarking on a project and is looking for some guidance and anyone generally interested in older properties.
