Dr Harriet Harriss is a Senior Tutor in Interior Design & leads the Architecture School PhD program at the Royal College of Art in London. Her teaching, research and writing are largely focussed upon pioneering new pedagogic models for design education, particularly those that respond to community challenges: as captured in her most recent publications, Architecture Live Projects: Pedagogy into Practice (Routledge, 2014); and Radical Pedagogies: Architecture & the British Tradition (RIBA Publishing, 2015). In 2015 Harriet was awarded a PhD entitled ‘Community-engaged learning for the acquisition and application of ‘practice-ready’ architectural knowledge’. As well as teaching design, architectural history, theory and representation, her other areas of interest include the history of British social housing, cognitive design, participatory design methods, the power stations of London and the future of design education.
