Dan Dodds BIO

Dan Dodds studied BSc Architecture at The Bartlett [UCL], graduating in 2009. His final design project was a ‘Nose to Tail Complex‘, which explored chef Fergus Henderson’s ideas about Nose to Tail Eating on a site next to Leadenhall [meat] Market in the City of London. It’s aim was to remind people of the origins of their food while minimising waste by using every part of the animals that came on-site. The project was short-listed in the RIBA Forgotten Spaces 2010 competition.

Other theoretical projects undertaken while studying the BSc included an extension to the Natural History Museum in Lubeck, a installation/performance of a portable cheese-making machine, and a Teaching Farm linked to a Deaf-Blind School. Projects have focused on raising awareness of environmental issues linked to food production and waste. His dissertation explored another area of interest: visual and multi-sensory perception of the built environment.

Since graduating he has been working as a Part 1 Architectural Assistant at Walters and Cohen in North London. At Walters and Cohen he worked on a a variety of projects broadly within the education sector including: masterplan for an International School in Spain, secondary schools in London and Coventry, and two primary schools in East London. Work varied from RIBA stages A-G.

In addition to working at Walters and Cohen, Dan has collaborated with Anthony Whittaker [DS14] to design and fabricate installations for SWEAR, a London based shoe brand.
