Julia King is currently doing a doctorate of philosophy in the Architecture of Rapid Change and Scarce Resources titled Incremental Cities at London Metropolitan University supported by the Water Trust Foundation. The research looks at sharing and building technology for low income housing in regularized settlements - investigating the relationship between incremental growth and community and neighbourly sharing and identifying the advantages and disadvantages of such incremental construction.
Julia studied architecture at the Architectural Association receiving the Eileen Gray Bursary (2001-2007) and was profiled in the press as one of the 10 best graduating Architects in the UK, her dissertation was nominated for the prestigious RIBA Presidents Medal.
Julia has worked for a range of firms including structural engineers Atelier One whom she continues to collaborate with, John McAslan and Partners, LAB Architecture Studio and Freestate. Recent/current clients include Magis, Tatton Park Biennale, RUMI Foundation and the Clinton-Hunter Foundation.
