Imogen Kemp

Throughout my education and time in practice, I have gained a passion for re-purposing existing structures and designing with a consciousness of those that inhabit the space. My most recent design project focuses on re purposing a dilapidated sites in Rome and my thesis interrogated the housing stock of the UK proposing a new approach to reusing the current housing stock effectively.
