Rory James Sherlock

Rory James Sherlock serves as a Design Fellow (Year 2, Studio 4) in the Department of Architecture at the University of Cambridge, while also teaching at the Architectural Association. His academic profile encompasses editorial work for publications including AA Files, contributions to architectural journals, and leadership of design studios that integrate practical and theoretical approaches to contemporary architecture.

His research and practice critically engage with Architecture through specialized domains including Urban Design, Affordable Housing solutions, Exhibition Design for international venues like the Venice Biennale, large-scale Sculpture, and interdisciplinary Media Studies conducted through his collaborative practice F.O.A.M. This multifaceted work demonstrates a commitment to socially responsive design and experimental spatial practices that bridge academic inquiry with real-world applications.

Sherlock's professional trajectory includes significant project leadership at OMMX for Naked House's affordable housing initiative, international exhibition installations, and collaborations with figures like Alexander Brodsky. His current studio practice with Francesca Romana Dell’Aglio continues this exploration of architecture's intersection with art and social infrastructure, reflected in both his pedagogical approach and built work.
