A Queen's University project exploring the many definitions of success through studying, working, commissioning, using and researching architecture.

Success through Architecture 2014-15 and 2015-16
190 students working with 70 participants from industry, education business and the arts.
All Queen’s University Belfast final year architecture undergraduate (Part 1) and first year postgraduate (Part 2) students formed groups to work with participants from business and practice, the arts and education, all of whom had studied architecture. The groups and participants have explored a set of questions allowing comparison between participants. Students participants will discuss the students own work. When possible a portrait by Alan Jones of each participant in their choice of context will inform the database of the lives of those who have studied architecture.
