Lee Ivett is an architect, academic, and maker. He is also the founder of the participatory architecture, art, and design studio Baxendale.
He was most recently Deputy Associate Dean and Head of Architecture and Construction at the University of Lancashire in his home town of Preston. In this role, he led a wide portfolio of built environment disciplines, developed opportunities for cross-disciplinary learning, and championed an ethos of ‘learning through doing’ and ‘thinking through making’.
His practice-led research is rooted in the organic and generative, focusing on low-budget, socially-led projects developed with communities across the UK. These projects evolve from the tactical into longer-term, durational forms. This work has been brought together through ‘Other People’s Dreams’ – a collaborative live-action research office and educational framework that supports third-sector community organisations in the North West to use acts of making as a means of prototyping and creating new forms of amenity, activity, and public space. The work of ‘Other People’s Dreams’ has been shortlisted and commended in the RIBA Journal MacEwen Awards and showcased nationally and internationally.
Lee’s work has been recognised internationally for its innovation, impact, and quality. He has exhibited, produced, and presented in Poland, Hungary, Nuremberg, Los Angeles, the Venice Architecture Biennale, BIO Ljubljana, and throughout the UK, and was selected for inclusion in the publication ‘New Architects 3’.
He is also a regular contributor to architectural discourse, having written for ‘Architectural Review’, ‘Architects’ Journal’, ‘Architecture Today’, ‘RIBA Journal’, and ‘Metropolis’, as well as a range of academic journals.
In addition, he speaks widely at national and international academic conferences on his research, teaching, and practice. He also contributes regularly to radio, digital media, podcasts, exhibitions, articles, and public events on architecture, society, and the city.
Lee is Head of School at the London School of Architecture.
