Madeleine Kessler is an architect, curator and urbanist dedicated to designing joyful people-centred places that contribute positively to our planet. Her practice explores architecture as a conversation about the city at every scale, with projects including The Garden of Privatised Delights (British Pavilion, 17th Venice Architecture Biennale); Foraged Fables (Nature’s Architects Trail); Hidden Half World (Oslo Architecture Triennale); and Forestation, a strategic proposal to rewild existing railway stations across the UK. 

Passionate about promoting a creative understanding of the city, Madeleine is a member of the National Infrastructure Commission’s Design Group and Net Zero Expert Panel; Ebbsfleet Design Forum; visiting Professor at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology; and lecturer at the Architectural Association and London School of Architecture. Previously she worked at Haworth Tompkins, HHF, Studio Weave, and as an Associate at Haptic Architects, on projects including Battersea Arts Centre, St James’s Market Pavilion, and Theatre Royal Drury Lane. She is regularly invited to speak and critic internationally, including at Harvard GSD, Royal Institute of Art Stockholm and Université du Luxembourg. Madeleine has won a number of awards, including the Architects' Journal's 40 under 40 and the RIBA Rising Star Award.
