Director, AMA Alexi Marmot Associates, London

Prof Alexi Marmot specialises in ‘evidence-based design and management’, development of methods, data gathering, analysis and interpretation of results for application to real-world problems that face all organisations in using space efficiently and effectively to fulfil their mission. Results aim to assist strategic decisions by clients and change management for building users. The WorkWare methodologies that She has developed and refined over twenty years, gather quantitative and qualitative data on space utilisation, audit, attitudes and behaviour. The tools consist of three toolkits: WorkWare for office space (covering more than 70,000 people in over 250 buildings.), WorkWare^LEARN for educational environments and WorkWare^SUSTAIN for the behavioural insights on use of energy and other resources. International organisations that have selected these evidence-based methods to help guide major capital investment projects includes: Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Stavros Niarchos Foundation, BP, IBM, Ernst and Young, HSBC, Morgan Stanle. Major government and private companies in the UK have also used the methods including British Airways, BBC, GLA, OGC, DEFRA, and the Department of Health and many local authorities and universities. The evidence discovered from her research has been used to inform the work of global leaders in architecture and urbanism, internationally renowned architectural practices including Herzog and de Meuron, Renzo Piano Building Workshop, Foster Associates.

Dr Kayvan Karimi：

Dr. Kayvan Karimi is a Senior Lecturer within the Space Research Group at the Bartlett, UCL, and the Course Director of MRes in Spatial Design: Architecture and Cities (MRes SD:AC). He is also the Director of Space Syntax Limited, a UCL spin-off company that utilizes Bartlett’s research in professional consultancy. Kayvan is an architectural and urban designer with more than twenty years of academic and professional experience. He completed his doctoral studies at the Bartlett School of Graduate Studies, University College London (1993-1998).His academic and professional experience spans from the East, where he originates, to the West, where he has spent most of his professional life. He has worked extensively on a wide range of research and consultancy projects, including: strategic city planning, urban regeneration, large-scale urban master planning, urban conservation, revitalisation of historic centres, regeneration of informal settlements, complex buildings, public realm design and pedestrian movement planning. In recent years, Kayvan has been developing advanced methods for evidence-based design and planning of the built environment, from a very macro scale, such as master planning of an entire city, to very micro scale, such as the design of small public spaces or buildings. Kayvan has maintained his teaching and research activities in parallel to his main role in leading consultancy projects. He has become a senior lecturer at the Bartlett School of Graduate Studies, UCL, since January 2011.
