Alice Clancy
Assistant Professor, Director of Teaching and Learning, UCD School of Architecture
Alice Clancy is an architectural practitioner whose practice involves education, curation and photography. Collaboration is at the heart of all aspects of her practice.
She has won teaching awards and taught, lectured and reviewed at schools of architecture and design across Ireland and the UK since 2008, focusing on collaborative expanded practice, student centred learning and developing architectural pedagogy. In 2023 she was a key development consultant and contributor to the inaugural Biennale College Architettura in Venice, collaborating with 15 academics and 50 emerging practitioners, early stage academics and graduate students from all over the world exploring how to place decolonisation and decarbonisation at the heart of architectural education.
Her curatorial practice includes an unprecedented two appointments to the Curatorial Team for La Biennale Architettura: In 2018 as Assistant to Curators Yvonne Farrell & Shelley McNamara (FREESPACE), and in 2023 as Assistant to Curator Lesley Lokko (The Laboratory of the Future), the 16th & 18th International Architecture Exhibitions of La Biennale di Venezia respectively.
In her photographic practice, she focuses on the careful and considered visual communication of built space, working with designers and building inhabitants to explore how light and the inhabitation of the project animate and ultimately transform each project.
