On Tuesday 11 March, RSUA Women in Architecture held an Ask An Architect Salon at the Sunflower bar, raising funds for Friends of the Cancer Centre. Over a drink and a slice of pizza, questions from the floor were expertly fielded by our lisarious host, Martina McKnight, for our esteemed panel of 7 Northern Ireland architects. Their range of expertise crossed domestic and commercial work, urban and rural work, conservation, academic research, a selection of which was on display on the walls. The conversation ranged from practical advice for home-owners, to philosophical musings on the gendered nature of the city, and many laugh-out-loud funny anecdotes about life as an architect. There have been several requests to repeat the event, so perhaps we’ll see you there next year!
