Nathan Verrier

(he/him)

Architectural Assistant – B.Sc (Hons)

Nathan is a British-born mixed Nigerian and Irish architectural designer born and raised in East London. He is passionate about designing for communities and promoting social equity for the underrepresented. He is particularly interested in how spaces can be used to provide a creative outlet for young people. He recently completed his Part 1 at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, where he explored links between postcolonialism, extractivism and the lasting social/ecological implications of colonial theory within the built environment. This culminated in the proposal of an urban typology that explored recycling building materials, promoting closed-loop biodiversity and using biophilia to enrich local communities.
