Professor Mark Smout and Professor Laura Allen have been teaching Architectural Design for more than 20 years. Located at the Bartlett School of Architecture, they teach MArch Architecture Unit 11. Together, they established and direct the School’s Landscape Architecture Masters Programmes. Their design research practice, SMOUT ALLEN, has lectured and exhibited around the world.
In both practice and teaching, they are concerned with architecture’s relationship with the environment, long-term landscape processes and the dynamics of a changing world. Their teaching is noted for supporting students in individual and diverse architectural agendas, making connections between architecture and disciplines across the humanities, sciences and the arts to build a speculative environmental or research and design. Their students regularly are the recipients of national and international awards.
