Staying Curious
Alongside design projects, Amanda makes time for research, teaching (at the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University), reading, observing and reflecting on the world around us and the issues affecting architecture, art, landscape and placemaking in Wales and beyond. In this blog you can find a collection of essays, reviews and reflections relating to the work of Situated Studio.
Growth – Creative Mornings Cardiff Talk: How creating ideas at the ‘edge’ of architecture has helped us grow
On Friday 28th November 2025, Situated Studio’s Amanda Spence and Rhian Thomas of Analog Architecture we invited to give the monthly talk at Creative Mornings Cardiff, exploring the theme of Growth.
As regular collaborators, this was an opportunity to share our interwoven journeys in practice, and how our experience of creating and delivering ideas at the ‘edge’ of architecture – where it overlaps with art, landscape and research – have helped us grow personally and professionally.
