Alfie Gurtler

Alfie is a Part 1 Architectural Assistant who focuses his design strategy upon Social Value. He strives to provide design and consideration in our built environment for the under- and mis-represented sectors and demographics within our society. He believes that if form follows function, then function follows people; and that individuals, community and culture are centrefold within an industry that is calling for more progressive architecture for the people it will cater for.

Both his dissertation and final design module projects separately addressed the demonized perceptions of UK housing estates based upon their inhabitants rather than their architecture, along with commanding solutions to address this. Alfie graduated from the Oxford School of Architecture (OBU) in 2023 with First Class Honours, having received nominations for 8 student prizes, including a shortlist for the RIBA Bronze Medal.
