Frosso Pimenides

Frosso has been Director of Year 1 Architecture at The Bartlett, UCL since 1990, where she has taught nearly 3000 students. She is also an Associate Professor at UCL. Frosso was influential in founding Accelerate in 2012 with Alan Penn (Dean at The Bartlett), Victoria Thornton and Fiona MacDonald. In 2014, Frosso was made an Honorary Fellow at the RIBA.

Frosso believes that “architecture education is unique in the sense that it is the antithesis of secondary education. We provide a radical shift for students who come to UCL with a fear of failure, discouragement from asking questions and a reluctance to take risks and be playful with their design work.”

Frosso is an associate at the Thornton Education Trust and is an international advisor at Fundacion Aldea in Chile.
