Intimately linked, still early in its industrialisation but a few stages ahead of smart-technology, is automation and digitisation.

We caught up with her to find out about her involvement in the Westminster program as well as to get her take on what young architects can learn from this seemingly daunting practice.. BW: How did you get involved with the University of Westminster's crit program and what do you enjoy about being involved?.M: As I studied at Westminster for both my undergraduate and postgraduate degree, I have come to know some of the tutors quite well.

On top of this, when studying for my Masters degree, I worked as a PAL (Peer Assisted Learning) assistant for undergraduate students.This is a new initiative set up by Westminster, which involves older students helping teach the younger ones.I assisted in sketching workshops, tutorials, formal reviews as well as crits and certain presentations for year 1 undergraduate architecture and interior architecture students.

As a result of my experience, I have on two occasions since graduating been asked to help out at crits as part of the panel.I really enjoy the experience and am very grateful to be given the opportunity to attend.

Even though I am there to help the students, I don't think it is only about them benefiting from the experience.

I believe it is hugely important for architects to stay involved in architectural education, not only in order to help tutor the next generation of architects, but also to take inspiration, ideas and thought processes from student work back into real world practice.In using these Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) methodologies and tools we can slowly aid transformation and delivery value whilst addressing some of the most pressing sector and global issues which are faced today..
