Eva Sopéoglou

I am Eva Sopéoglou, a practising architect, academic researcher and university lecturer. My work is concerned with the interaction of humans with the environment both within urban and natural contexts. A recurring theme is the relationship between interior, exterior and semi-enclosed spaces; this is an often overlooked aspect of space-making which I consider crucial, both in the public and domestic spheres. My work also pursues a keen interest in materials, craft and fabrication and a creative engagement with technology informed by a knowledge of architectural engineering, structures and advanced building design.

I am an experienced and passionate tutor and a regular invited critic in architecture schools across London, the UK and Greece. I particularly enjoy initiating design workshops to address ecological, technological or social agendas and leading student teams working with communities and through live projects. Prior to joining Sheffield School of Architecture, I taught design studio, technology and contextual studies at Kingston School of Art, University of Hertfordshire, Central St Martins and at the Architectural Association

My outlook on architectural practice is international. My professional work and academic research have attracted several international design awards, research grants and study scholarships while the work has been widely published and exhibited internationally.
