This informal event will open with a short talk and Q&A with alumna, architect, and California native, Rebecca Rudolph (UCL Affiliate Bartlett School of Architecture 1999).
In 2010, Rebecca co-founded Design, Bitches – a multidisciplinary firm with a bold and irreverent vision to make architecture significant in daily life. Learn about Rebecca’s journey from Los Angeles to London and back again. Hear how she draws inspiration from her, and co-founder Catherine Johnson’s, eclectic expertise in the areas of design, art, and pop culture.
This will be followed by a social speed networking session, where you will be randomly matched with members of UCL’s alumni and student community from across California.
7pm – 8pm PT
About the Speaker
Rebecca Rudolph
Co-Founder at Design, Bitches
Rebecca Rudolph, AIA and Catherine Johnson, AIA founded Design, Bitches with a bold and irreverent vision to make architecture significant in daily life. Their multidisciplinary firm draws inspiration from the duos’ eclectic expertise in the areas of design, art, and pop culture. Each design transforms a collage of influences into architecture that is beautiful and layered with meaning, but also welcoming—spaces and landscapes where people want to hang out.
Design, Bitches work has been recognized with multiple awards from the AIA/LA, Surface, Architect’s Newspaper, shortlisted for the Moira Gemmill Prize for Emerging Architecture, and selected as the 2017 recipient of AIA/LA’s Emerging Practice Award.
