Connie Pidsley

Connie completed her Part 1 studies at the Sheffield School of Architecture in 2020. She worked with both Design Engine Architects and DEDRAFT over the subsequent two years which has given her a wide range of experience from large scale education campuses to private residential projects.

Connie is driven by creating socially responsible and inclusive environments that are rooted in both their physical and social contexts. She believes that community centred design, with imaginative and tactile spaces, produces engaging architecture that has a positive impact on the wellbeing of those who use it. She thinks sustainability is critically important, and that it should be approached holistically throughout the design process and a building’s life. She explored this in her undergraduate design projects and dissertation ‘Circular Design: The Future of Sustainable Architecture?’.

Through her studies with the LSA and work with Mikhail Riches, Connie is looking forward to further researching these themes and learning about socially and environmentally sustainable architecture that makes a positive difference.

In her spare time, Connie enjoys going to the theatre and art exhibitions as well as keeping active through ballet, walking and swimming.
