Maria was a partner at architecture and design practice Leit-werk ltd for more than ten years and previously worked for Hopkins Architects and Coop Himmelb(l)au. The name of the company - Room 102 - is a reference to George Orwell’s ‘Room 101’, featured in his novel 1984. Room 101 is a place in which a prisoner is subjected to his or her own worst nightmare, fear or phobia. In contrast 'Room 102’ is our imaginary next room along and the complete opposite - a space filled with the inhabitant's every hope, dream and desire. The desire for spaces to be light filled, friendly, sustainable, considering materiality, views and the relationship to its surroundings is at the heart of everything we do at Room 102. Room 102 has won many awards, such as the competition for the public art sculpture 'The Swirl' in the centre of Didcot and has been selected for 'The Open 100' by Artangel. The company was founded by Maria Kramer DipUCL MArch ARB. She was project architect and manager for a number of competition winning projects, including the redevelopment of St John’s Square in Blackpool and the airport developments at Bangalore and Gaza International Airport. She taught at Cardiff University for more than five years and is a senior lecturer at the University of Westminster enjoying the potential of bridging the gap between academia and practice. |
