A is for Architecture Podcast Geraldine Dening: Social housing, urban culture and community action.
In Episode 8 of A is for Architecture, I speak with Geraldine Dening, an architect and senior lecturer at Leicester School of Architecture, De Montfort University. Geraldine runs her own practice, Geraldine Dening Architects, and also co-founded Architects for Social Housing, a CIC that grew out of engagement with the housing crisis in London, and which advocates for the maintenance of social housing, the communities that make them, and live in them.
I was put onto Geraldine by another podcast guest, and so wrote out of the blue to ask if she’d be interested in speaking about the social significance and political character of housing. Gladly, she was both willing and a wonderfully engaging interlocutrice. You can see more about Geraldine and her work via the links above and on LinkedIn.
