In this episode the thoughtful Fi Macdonald, a core member of Part W, designer and co-founder of Matt & Fiona, a social enterprise working to empower young people speaks with the incredible Jos Boys. Jos was a founding member of Matrix, the feminist design collective operating throughout the 1970s, the all-female identifying group collaborated closely with communities and women, they are well known for designing the Jagonari Centre in Whitechapel. Jos also co-authored the book Making Space with Matrix, which was recently republished, a book outlining issues for women in the city and design which somehow is still painfully relevant today. Jos now leads DisOrdinary Architecture alongside artist Zoe Partington. Fi and Jos join together for a sensitive discussion about not wanting to be an architect, class, unconscious bias and looking at who does not conform in our society. Jos asks us to look at gender budgeting and calls for consciousness-raising for meaningful change to occur.
