Professor Sarah Wigglesworth
Professor

MA, Dip Arch (Cantab), ARB, RIBA, FRSA, MBE

I was appointed Professor of Architecture in 1998. My research interests lie in the boundary between theory and practice, and in exploring sustainable environments. In 2000 she established the School's PhD by Design to ensure design is recognised as a genuine research activity. I am director of London-based Sarah Wigglesworth Architects, a practice pioneering new approaches to building using low energy principles, and has won many awards for its work. I was appointed a CABE Commissioner in early 2011 and received an MBE for services to architecture in 2003.

Teaching Activities	Currently I provide teaching on an occasional basis to all years of the school on matter of design, technology, management and environmental design. I manage the Visiting Professorships, including the Whole School Event (a week-long workshop by a foreign visitor). In 2011 this will be Siv Helene Stangeland of Helen & Hard Architects from Stavanger in Norway.
