Andrea Faed
Job title:
Senior Lecturer in Architecture
Biography
Andrea Faed is a practising Architect and Senior Lecturer at ESALA. Her focus is on architecture of Northern Latitudes – an atmospheric place of seasonal change, vast horizons and untouched wilderness where people mould their ethereal life around the challenges and opportunities that the place provides. This has led to a key research interest in biodiversity and the fragility of our entangled earthly ecosystems, and the intertwining of social life and natural life in our urban landscapes.
Andrea studied at Edinburgh College of Art and after registering as an Architect, worked at Allies and Morrison in London before setting up her own Edinburgh practice.
She has led a North Studio Unit in the MArch programme at ESALA for several years, been a Course Organiser for the BA/MA 2nd year In Place studio course, Studio Leader in the 3rd and 4th year design courses, Explorations and Tectonics, Tutor in the Academic Portfolio and Design Report courses, and Dissertation Supervisor.
