Radical Architecture Warrior: Prof. Sonja Oliveira

Sonja Oliveira believes that we are architecture. We are entwined with each other, our designed environments, other species, infrastructures, technology, systems and buildings and that climate crisis, resource depletion, social segregation and other societal and environmental challenges - are increasingly threatening conditions of this entwined existence. 

For this reason, she set up the Radical Architecture Practice for Sustainability (RAPS) in 2018 through a desire to enable a wider discourse and debate on how sustainability is practised in architecture. Her recent work carried out for accelerating design innovation capability and capacity for socially responsible net-zero housing delivery was  selected for the UK House of Lords Science and Technology Select Committee’s report and presented as a keynote at the Westminster Social Forum.
