As a trustee of the The Art Academy and designer of its new Bankside campus, Senior Partner Tim Gledstone recently joined the CreatED podcast - a series exploring where creativity, technology, and education meet, supported by The Hg Foundation and the Art Academy.
Hosted by the Academy’s Principal and artist Rob Pepper, the conversation explored how architecture can go beyond form and function - becoming a catalyst for community, identity, and belonging. Tim reflected on the importance of long-term collaboration in delivering the best design outcomes, the evolving role of apprenticeships and hands-on learning in balancing academic knowledge with real-world skills, and how these experiences shape the next generation of architects.
The discussion also turned to the opportunities and challenges of AI in design - from unlocking new creative possibilities to reshaping workflows and collaboration.
