AA Inter 12 tutor Albane Duvillier has been selected to be part of SHAPE

As architect and cofounder of House of Bricoleurs, Albane Duvillier has been selected to be part of SHAPE, a programme to support new built environment entrepreneurs that are in the process of being established and want to create change.

House of Bricoleurs work with the existing: landscapes, living beings, materials and buildings, and consider environmental and social justice issues to be interconnected. They explore sustainable methods of construction to support collective projects and have a hands-on approach to construction. Their expertise in materials and heritage allows them to expand the architect role and reclaim a technical understanding of building life cycles.

SHAPE is organised by Built by Us, an award-winning built environment team who strive to increase diversity in the leadership of the built environment sector, particularly seeking to nurture traditionally under-looked and under-served talent. This includes women, the Global Majority, people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, disabled people, LGBTQIA+ people and people who face socio-economic disadvantage.
