Project Details
Description
Work Experience asks how everyday working lives are recognised and remembered. What projects, people, places, experiences, ideas, or values are distilled as significant? Who by? How do these intersect with established educational, professional, cultural, institutional records? What are meaningful and creative ways of remembering work today?
An archive of intergenerational conversations that foreground women in architecture in Scotland (Voices of Experience dataset, 2016-2024) forms the project foundation. The long active lives of VoE participants reveal a range of conditions and varying scope of architectural work, from multi-disciplinary collaboration in regional planning, to publicly funded housing, to office management, to historic conservation, to modes of activism.
The depth and nuances of an (architectural) working life, how this might be remembered through multiple forms of appearance, is explored through institutional record review, personal collections, and the curation of an exhibition and public discussion, Mementos of (a) Working Life.
