ZOË BERMAN
BA / DIP. ARCH / ARB
Zoë has a strong interest in cross-disciplinary design, and seeks to work on creative projects that bring together people from a range of backgrounds to deliver synergetic projects, that are joyful and useful.
With a strong belief in design that supports all, in 2018 Zoë founded Part W – an action group that brings together women who work across architecture and design, infrastructure and construction who together campaign for gender parity across the built environment.
Zoë spends time in Bristol, London and Oxford. She leads an undergraduate design unit at the Welsh School of Architecture and is a design tutor at the new Reading School of Architecture where she co-teaches with Piers Taylor. She founded the annual Rural Works design-and-make studio held in Cumbria, that seeks to explore design ideas for a rural community. She has taught at The Cass School of Architecture and has been a visiting critic at the University of Westminster, University of Sheffield and Kingston University.
With a passion for collaboration and creative projects she has worked with the Projects Office at the Cass School of Architecture as a project coordinator and previously worked with Pentagram designers and Buro Happold engineers.
She founded The Unpublishables, a publication written by and for young designers - and established the lecture series Criss-Cross at London Met University; a series of talks that investigated the richness of cross-disciplinary work between architecture and other creative fields.
