Laura Miller
Lecturer in ArchitectureMy Role
I am a qualified architect and lead the MArch and Professional Practice Programme for the School of Architecture, providing structured learning content across all year groups, including students who are working in practice between undergraduate and postgraduate study. I create links with professional practices in the North West and facilitate visits to architectural offices for students as well as organising mentoring experiences and project review opportunities between students and practicing architects. I plan and organise the annual field trip for students across the school and have developed a set principles for the organistaion of the trip to increase participation, provide equal opportunity and to demonstrate responsible travel and tourist behaviours through low carbon expenditure and critical review of places visited. I run workshops for primaryschool children and also for primary school teachers to give confidence in teaching architecture as a subject to primary school-aged children as required by the national curriculm.
Career Details
I have worked as an architect for 20 years and bring experience of working in professional practice to all the modules taught at as part of the undergraduate and post graduate architecture courses.
I am a partner at Miller Clear Architects LLP which I set up in 2011. Prior to this I worked for Eric Parry Architects, Long and Kentish, Hawkins/Brown, De Matos Ryan and HLM Architects.

Current Research
I am researching transactional analysis between tutors and students and the navigation of ILSPs with the impact on individual students' participation in the established format of the architectural review.
I am researching the opportunities for more equal learning experinces through stuctured approaches to understanding the dynamics of groupworking and developing tools to enable more effective and equitable experiences for students when undertaking groupworking with a focus on the future use in professional practice.
I am currently working with a colleague at De Montfort University to develop consistent principles for Architecture Schools to organise and plan Study Tours. Evidence shows that there is inequality and lack of opportunity across the schools alongside varied approaches to sustainable practices and considerations of appropriatness of types of visits.
