About this conversation
Architecture and town planning often sit in different conversations, but the best projects need both design judgement and a clear understanding of policy, process and place.
Stephen Drew speaks with Enrique, Motti and James from UPP about building an interdisciplinary studio, combining town planning with architecture and growing a collaborative practice from a small start-up into a broader team.
The conversation covers:
How town planning and architecture overlap in everyday project work
Why UPP built a practice around both disciplines
How culture, flexibility and face-to-face collaboration affect a growing studio
