James Haynes graduated from the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (ESALA) in 2022 and until recently worked as an architectural assistant for the artist Do Ho Suh. Alongside his previous role and studies, James has developed a keen interest in architectural writing and research, which has found an opportunity for expression through support from the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland and through involvement with several publications: the RIBAJ, DAMN Magazine, RecessedSpace, Architecture Ireland and others. 

Upon graduating, James received the ESALA MA Architecture Prize and his thesis project, A Tober: An Architecture of Resilience and Joy, was the ESALA nomination for RIBA Bronze Medal. At present, James is undertaking a funded MScR at the Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (ESALA).
