Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Joe Morris, the architect spearheading Morris+Company across two studios, one in the creative district of London’s Hackney, and the other in Copenhagen.
In a career spanning 25 years of professional practice which has achieved widespread international recognition, Joe has increasingly advocated a sense of urgency for fair and transparent practice, inclusivity, and equality, through open dialogue and critical debate, whilst encouraging the broader company to take ownership of projects and develop their own careers and interests.
Joe has represented the practice on a global platform, lecturing on the work of the studio in many leading UK universities, as well as in Barcelona, Bilbao, Buenos Aires, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Liege, and Romania. He has taught at the Bartlett School of Architecture in London, the Universidad de Navarra in Pamplona and the La Salle School of Architecture in Barcelona and has been a visiting examiner at Plymouth and Oxford Brookes universities.
Joe is a founding participator in London on a global self-initiated research program exploring a world view on cities across Europe and has also contributed to several local authority design review panels, including Lewisham, Brent, Hackney, and currently, Southwark.
In today’s episode, we will be discussing:
– Moving towards a B – Corporation
– Practice Ethos, and values and find harmony with clients’ business agendas
– Creating a new office in a new city
