Keith Papa

Keith has a leading role in education sector projects, with a specific focus on schools.

He has been responsible for some of our most innovative school designs, including the award-winning Marlowe Academy and Bridge Academy, the latter a new secondary school on the miniscule site of a derelict urban primary school.

He is passionate about raising the aspirations of clients, end-users and other stakeholders, to demand more of places designed for learning.

How will the role of architecture develop in the next 40 years?
“Architecture and urbanism provide the framework that supports social interaction. As it becomes possible to live, learn, travel and communicate more and more in physical isolation from others, the role of architecture will be even more to create places to bring people together.”
