Victoria is currently working on aUKRI Future Leaders Fellowship (2020-27) entitled 'Sensing Spaces of Healthcare: Rethinking the NHS Hospital'.
This asks how people have experienced hospitals through time, and the legacy of their perceptions in current hospital design. It will create the first sensory history of hospitals in the 20th and 21st centuries, in order to understand the changing role of sensory interactions in the making of hospital environments. Harnessing participatory practices, it will create a novel multidisciplinary methodology for eliciting memories and sensations of hospitals, which will encourage new ways of thinking and practices among researchers, architects, and designers.
