Kerstin Thompson & Clare Cousins | Melbourne Spring 2016
Show Notes

This episode comes from the very first Parlour Seasonal Salon, which kicked off the entire series back in 2016. Our inaugural conversationalists are well-known, highly regarded architects Kerstin Thompson and Clare Cousins, who each lead their own eponymous Melbourne-based practice (Clare Cousins Architects and Kerstin Thompson Architects). They share stories and advice about setting up and leading practices that have their name on the door, their experiences as prominent women in the profession and advice for others setting out. The conversation concludes with a discussion of the importance of architects clearly advocating for the value and impact of the profession every day.  

This Salon was recorded live on Wurundjeri Country at Melbourne’s MPavilion in Spring 2016. Organised by Justine Clark, it was supported by Parlour Partner AWS. This recording comes to you courtesy of the MPavilion podcast library. Photograph: Dianna Snape.
