معرفی
Claire Jamieson serves as Senior Lecturer in History and Theory of Architecture at London Metropolitan University's School of Art, Architecture and Design, coordinating and teaching core history/theory modules for the MArch programme. With architectural training from the University of Cambridge and Royal College of Art, she brings extensive research leadership experience from the RIBA Building Futures think-tank (2009-2012) and Public Practice, alongside her doctoral work on the radical architectural group NATØ.
Her educational background includes:
- Architectural studies at the University of Cambridge
- Advanced architectural training at the Royal College of Art
- PhD in Critical and Historical Studies from the Royal College of Art (monograph published 2017)
Jamieson specializes in 20th-century radical architecture, particularly London's 1980s scene through the lens of NATØ (Narrative Architecture Today). Her research examines intersections between architecture, literature, and narrative while investigating public sector-practice relationships. She employs oral history and archival methods to document architectural movements within their socio-political contexts, with recent work extending to post-pandemic urban recovery.
Analysis of her publications reveals consistent engagement with postmodern architecture, historical narratives, and professional evolution. Her work spans detailed NATØ studies, architectural exhibitions like Gamma City, masterplanning typologies, and critical examinations of design/architectural history relationships, demonstrating methodological diversity across journals, books, and encyclopaedia entries.
No scientific awards or fellowships were mentioned in the provided text.
Jamieson has managed significant research programmes including RIBA Building Futures (producing 'The Future for Architects?') and Public Practice's R&D initiative, where she mentored practitioners in developing practice-led research outputs. While no specific PhD students are documented, her decade-long teaching across architectural programmes indicates substantial educational supervision. Her Public Practice role involved bi-weekly research development sessions supporting public sector transitions.
She has been instrumental in research collectives including RIBA Building Futures and Public Practice, fostering collaborative projects on architectural futures and public sector innovation. Current activities focus on town centre recovery (2022) and evolving architect roles, though no dedicated laboratory or permanent research team at London Met is specified in the materials.
