Nick Walker

I am an architect with twenty five years of experience of working in urban areas, as well as on the periphery of large cities, as lead architect on projects that have masterplanned and reimagined large brownfield sites and areas blighted by comprehensive redevelopment during the 20th century. I have led several multi award-winning, large scale urban regeneration and masterplanning projects, which set out to repair and regenerate the urban fabric at a city scale. Many of these projects dealt with heritage assets and complex townscape settings, and required a wide and detailed understanding of context, character, and place.

I have a passion for making our cities more sustainable and more enjoyable to live in, whilst tackling inequalities within our built environment, the spaces between our buildings and the infrastructure that makes our cities function. I have comprehensive local knowledge of Scotland’s central belt cities, an understanding of statutory authorities within Scotland, and a wealth of experience of working with complex stakeholder groups, and a variety of clients including housing associations, private developers and contractors. I am a team player and enjoy working collaboratively to help design teams find the best outcomes for all projects, supporting and guiding the design process in relation to heritage and townscape. 

I have also been a studio design tutor for over 20 years at the Mack, and I am a strong advocate for equity within the Built Environment through my practice, teaching and togerher with my colleagues in missinginarchitecture.net
