Maddie Anderson This map shows where I’ve been and where I’m heading. From a ‘street’ of childhood homes and first sense of place, to Abu Dhabi, where travel widened my sense of design, a route stitched by choice. There are detours present: choosing art, listening to the ‘road of doubts’. At the centre is the now, October 2026, and the question: what kind of architect do I want to be? One who is curious, connects with people and place, respects what already exists, designs for those too often left out, and above all is kind. The needle and thread wait at the staircase to the future. The thread isn’t finished, and neither am I.
