Julian Gitsham
“Architecture should be transformative. It should demand attention, entice people and invite them in.”
Julian has an exceptional body of work in the UK across a range of sectors and scales, including many university projects – valuable experience be brings to his role as a co-leader of our Education & Science sector.
A Fellow of the Royal Society for Arts and RIBA-registered architect, Julian enjoys the process of restoring celebrated spaces so they can be enjoyed by future generations.
