Completing his undergraduate at Norwich University of the Arts, Conrad received awards from both the RIBA East and Norwich University of the Arts through his third year project exploring concepts of timelessness through the dichotomy of Hull's history and culture.
Graduating from his MArch [ARB/RIBA Part II] at the University of Westminster, he has developed an interest in the poetics of spaces and bodily agencies through his time in Design Studio 25 (DS25). Challenging normative perceptions, his projects speculate upon radical futures through intricate narratives of the Anthropocentric such as the state of the urban death-scape or the notion of the "cyborg" as a solution to our degrading climate.
During his post-graduate, Conrad worked part time as a graduate studio teaching assistant running workshops, assisting in crits and troubleshooting drawings, models and software for the undergraduates he assisted. During both he years he achieved high marks with both projects being nominated for there own portfolio awards.
In his part 1 practice, Conrad assisted in the delivery of projects from stages 0-7, developing project bids, early stage viability reports, drawing packages, team coordination, assisted on snagging visits, etc. for projects within the private and public sector and working closely with a range of clients and users. During this time he worked on projects at all scales, from schools, care homes and small residential up to large scale residential masterplanning with a focus to Passivhaus or Carbon-zero (in use).
