In 2004 Harriet won a public funding commission (NESTA) to establish & co-direct Design Heroine Architecture (DHA); a practice that focussed on innovative and collaborative public spaces and buildings. DHA worked on a number of public and private sector projects ranging from schools to corporate learning spaces. In 2007, Harriet became an associate in a consortium consultancy that specialises in creating diverse teams that combine architectural thinking with strategy and process intelligence to deliver 'design solutions' to a variety of public, academic and commercial clients. Harriet's specialist teaching interests include the cinematic structure of space, film & animation methods in architecture, the history of British housing, high-density sustainable housing, the power stations of London & re-purposing of post-industrial space, and also spatial narratives, kinesthetic & process mapping. Harriet is currently researching how architectural tropes and modus operandi can be transposed into other related disciplines and industries to develop innovative new commercial and social values.
