Teaching & Education

Students assembling a self-build geodesic structure

At 2hD we complement our practice with the teaching of architecture and related subjects, having more than 25 years teaching experience between us. Thibaut runs structure and construction related workshops, Tom teaches studio design, computer aided design and construction technology, whilst Alina has developed from scratch, and run, an entirely new Architecture Program at Nottingham Trent University.

As a team we can deliver a wide range of teaching modes, from one-off lectures to seminar series, but we specialise in studio-based, hands-on workshops. We believe that student-centred and student-led learning has enormous potential in architectural design, as it helps with engaging students in this complex, ethically charged, technically challenging subject.

Using our familiarity of both education and practice contexts, we can bring together teaching packages that make the subject accessible, and learning enjoyable. This results in interesting and engaging physical outputs: models, posters, drawings and texts. Having taught across the range of ages, from primary school to postgraduate, we are able to pitch our teaching at an appropriate level for our students.
