Jane Hall

Description

Key note speaker for the Practice: Interior Educators International Conference 2024

Dr. Jane Hall is a founding member of Assemble, a multidisciplinary collective known for its work across architecture, design, and art. Founded in 2010 for a single self-built project, Assemble quickly gained recognition and won the Turner Prize in 2016 for their work in Granby, Liverpool. The collective is celebrated for its democratic and cooperative working methods, which enable a broad spectrum of projects that span built, creative, social, and research-based work. As the inaugural recipient of the British Council Lina Bo Bardi Fellowship in 2013, Jane focused on the intersection of art and architecture, and exploring alternative architectural methods. She earned her PhD at the Royal College of Art in London, where her research explored the legacy of modernist architects in Brazil and the UK. Jane has lectured internationally at institutions such as The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Princeton University, and the Canadian Centre for Architecture. She is also a visiting lecturer and regular critic at the Royal College of Art, the Bartlett School of Architecture, and the University of Cambridge. Her research has been widely published, including the books Breaking Ground: Architecture by Women (Phaidon, 2019) and Woman Made (Phaidon, 2021), which examine the work of female designers worldwide. Assemble’s projects have been featured in prestigious venues like the Venice Biennale and the Victoria and Albert Museum. Recently, they curated the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition
architecture room. Under Jane’s direction, Assemble continues to push the boundaries of socially engaged architecture, crafting creative spaces that meaningfully serve communities.
