Gem Barton
@gem_shandy Gem is primarily an academic, with the odd flare-up in writing, curating and designing. She has been teaching undergrad and postgrad students for almost a decade in architecture, interior architecture, urban design and design thinking. Having essays and articles published in much of the architectural press; mark, frame, blueprint, arch daily, architizer, inhabit and more, Barton has recently extended this writing to include conference papers and book deals. With stints at Tate Britain, drawings residencies, founding new initiatives such as Magic & Mafia and Process|or Barton's diary is somewhat hectic but she always finds the time to speak at events such as May Design Series and Clerkenwell Design Week and judge competitions for the likes of Architizer and Philips. Gem is currently writing her first book, for Laurence King Publishers and is planning a second with Phaidon. |
