Women in practice profile: Partner, Anne Thorne Architects
WHY YOU BECAME AN ARCHITECT My dad used to say he wished he’d trained as an architect

BIGGEST MISCONCEPTION At university, that we’re scared of the workshop; in practice, that we’re good at colour schemes
WHAT WOULD MAKE WOMEN STAY? Maybe being unionised would help
CURRENT CHALLENGE That there are so few of us. It’s not uncommon being the only woman in a meeting with 10 men in suits – it’s not nice
