Ms Diony Kypraiou
Diony is a Senior Lecturer, trained architect, researcher, and fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA, UK).
She joined BA Interior Architecture at University of Westminster in 2016 with a focus on design studio.
Prior and in parallel, she has taught on architecture, design, and multi-disciplinary courses in higher educational institutions that include the Syracuse University (SUL) and, the Bartlett School of Architecture (UCL), where she is completing a Doctorate in Architecture by Design (MPhil/PhD). She has presented, exhibited, and published work in the UK and abroad, and is a member of the Interior Educators (IE) Network, UK.
In 2021 Diony became Course Leader of the Interior Architecture BA programme in the School of Architecture and Cities.
My research explores notions of polyvocalism through a practice of voices in design, writing and performance, with a particular interest in analogies staged across theatre, psychoanalysis, interiors, and architecture. More recently I have been exploring the role of interdisciplinarity and collaboration in design pedagogy.
In the School of Architecture and Cities, I am a member of the Making and Practice Research Group.
As an ardent supporter of setting up synergies across sectors, disciplines, and institutions, I would encourage you to get in touch if you have an idea of a way we could collaborate.
