About Us
Umarell was born at the end of 2022 over a pint in Glasgow. The manifesto we set out from the beginning was to highlight under-represented and radical projects in architecture and all its peripheries. We wanted to create an accessible, but not dumbed down, publication that would extend the reaches of architectural practice beyond what is the norm to many.
We open Umarell up to everyone, architect or not, we don’t believe in the elitist narrative that a lot of architects perpetuate. Architecture is unavoidable in life and through deepening people’s understanding of the built environment we hope that they will begin to question these places and take action against architecture’s many injustices.
Umarell was started by Rory Thomas, Katy Hope and Andrew Wilson, we all met whilst studying at the Mackintosh School of Architecture in Glasgow. It takes many more than just us to do the projects we have done so also a big thanks to everyone we have worked with, whether that be on the publication or our built projects. Thanks to all our umarells x
