From gingerbread cities to greener futures – engaging the public through architecture
In this episode of the Women in BIM podcast, WIB Global Team Member, Henry Fenby-Taylor speaks with Melissa Woolford, Founder and Director of the Museum of Architecture, about her journey from working at Zaha Hadid Architects to creating playful, thought-provoking public exhibitions like the Gingerbread City and Nature’s Architects Trail.
They explore how creative engagement can make architectural issues accessible, inspire future careers, and connect communities to the built and natural environments.
The conversation also delves into skills development, career diversity in the built environment, and the need for fresh approaches to attracting and retaining talent in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry.
