Writing, Curating, Strategising: Lucy Bullivant’s Urbanist Toolkit

Award-winning author, strategist and curator Lucy Bullivant joins us to spill the tea on what it really takes to shape cities that work – and why good urbanism needs more than just good design. We dive into her journey from writing "Masterplanning Futures" to curating edutainment exhibitions, chairing design review panels and working hands-on with communities from Oslo to Enfield. It’s all about retrofitting, storytelling, publishing, people and place. Lucy’s lived it – and she’s not holding back. 00:00 0236 - Lucy Bullivant00:08 Welcome to the Architecture Social Show00:35 Meet Lucy: Curator, Mentor, and Strategist01:45 Lucy's Background and Influences02:52 Global Projects and Collaborations04:06 Passion for Architecture and Urban Design04:36 Temple Bar Trust and Diverse Voices05:50 Master Planning Futures: A Book Journey12:00 Writing and Research Process19:13 The Role of AI in Writing23:28 Collaborative Writing and Curation25:44 Exploring the World of Edutainment and Exhibitions26:26 Curating Exhibitions: From Concept to Execution28:32 Innovative Exhibition Projects and Collaborations31:06 The Importance of Retrofitting and Sustainable Design35:11 Consultancy Work and Urban Design43:02 Temple Bar Trust: Promoting Architecture and Education44:52 Upcoming Talks and Events at Temple Bar Trust48:24 Final Thoughts and How to Connect with Lucy____📐 The Architecture Social is an online platform packed with content to help you find new jobs, stand out from the crowd and take your career in Architecture to the next level💻 Find out more at https://www.architecturesocial.com (00:00) - 0236 - Lucy Bullivant (00:08) - Welcome to the Architecture Social Show (00:35) - Meet Lucy: Curator, Mentor, and Strategist (01:45) - Lucy's Background and Influences (02:52) - Global Projects and Collaborations (04:06) - Passion for Architecture and Urban Design (04:36) - Temple Bar Trust and Diverse Voices (05:50) - Master Planning Futures: A Book Journey (12:00) - Writing and Research Process (19:13) - The Role of AI in Writing (23:28) - Collaborative Writing and Curation (25:44) - Exploring the World of Edutainment and Exhibitions (26:26) - Curating Exhibitions: From Concept to Execution (28:32) - Innovative Exhibition Projects and Collaborations (31:06) - The Importance of Retrofitting and Sustainable Design (35:11) - Consultancy Work and Urban Design (43:02) - Temple Bar Trust: Promoting Architecture and Education (44:52) - Upcoming Talks and Events at Temple Bar Trust (48:24) - Final Thoughts and How to Connect with Lucy
