Peg Rawes

Peg Rawes is Professor of Architecture and Philosophy at University College London's Bartlett School of Architecture, where she directs research and leads the MA Architectural History program. Her work bridges architectural theory with philosophy, focusing on relational architectural ecologies through three intersecting areas: human/nonhuman life practices, planetary poetics, and housing ecologies.

• REF2029 Lead for Bartlett School
• EDICPI for EU TACK project (2020)
• BAUHOW5 PI for European architecture schools partnership (2016-20)

Research explores biophilic design, decolonial architecture, and feminist spatial practices across three streams:

• Architectural ecologies: Human/nonhuman relations in 'Bioprotopia' (2023), vulnerability visualization (2021)
• Planetary poetics: Climate emergency dialogues (2021), Irigarayan aesthetics (2020)
• Housing biopolitics: Care frameworks (2017), Spinozist ethical ratios (2015)

Key funded collaborations include EU TACK's Communities of Tacit Knowledge (2020) and AHRC's Equal by Design (2016). She contributes to architectural peer review for journals and international research councils while maintaining global partnerships with institutions like Cornell, ETH Zurich, and University of Minnesota.
