The P.I.N.K Practice is Michael’s postgraduate thesis project, developed during his M(Arch) at the University of Strathclyde. Conceived as both a speculative practice and a manifesto, the project reimagines the role of the architect as a listener, collaborator, and advocate deeply embedded within the communities they serve.

Set in Glasgow, the project merges design with activism to explore how architecture can act as a platform for equity, care, and cultural visibility. Through interventions such as modular community hubs and pop-up practice spaces. The P.I.N.K Practice challenges traditional models of architectural delivery. Proposing instead a framework that prioritises participation, inclusivity and intersectional design thinking.
