Chapman Taylor Supports Hannah More Primary School Careers Fair in Bristol

As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting the communities in which we live and work, Chapman Taylor attended the Hannah More Careers Fair again this year on June 25th, 2024. Farayi Msipha and Seanne Christhian from Chapman Taylor explained our approach to sustainability and responsible design to Year 6 students, who had many questions about becoming architects.

Supporting events such as this is only the tip of the iceberg regarding our approach to mentoring the next generation of designers.

At Chapman Taylor, our UK Studios offer a structured work experience programme for students in Year 10 (and over). The programme is aimed at students interested in a career in the built environment and provides them with the opportunity to work alongside architects, masterplanners, and interior designers in our London, Manchester, or Bristol studios. During a one—or two-week placement, students spend time in our studio, getting a taste of working for a global architectural practice.

Chapman Taylor is also active in supporting Architectural Degree courses across the UK through tutoring, mentoring, and prize-giving at end-of-year shows. Most recently, we hosted aspiring graduates during a Student Open Day event in our Manchester Studio.
