MacDirectory 21 Architect and urban designer Alison Killing helps people understand the environment through the medium of journalism, filmmaking, and exhibitions. Killing's passion is to make things, which resulted in a career in architecture. She studied architecture at King's College, Cambridge and Oxford Brookes and upon graduating was nominated for the RIBA Silver Medal. Following which she worked for various international design offices such as Buro Happold and Kees Christiaanse, on projects for public space and urbanism. She founded Killing Architects in 2010. Through her work, Killing discovers the relationship between death and modern architecture, looking at how cities are rebuilt after disaster. Her latest projects include: Death in the City (and its first restatement, Death in Venice, which was shown as an independent event during the opening week of the Venice Architecture Biennale), a touring exhibition about death and modern architecture; work with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies on better rebuilding after disaster and how to assimilate relevant urban design tools into humanitarian response; and a study of financial models for arts and community projects temporarily using vacant buildings to help these projects become self-sustaining. http://www.killingarchitects.com/ John R.
