Raeven Branch is an architectural designer based in the UK, recently graduated with a BSc in Architecture (1st Class Honours). Her work sits at the intersection of social infrastructure, memory, and material culture – the spaces where communities negotiate what they keep and what they leave behind.
Her final year project – the Water Street Library & Municipal Exchange of Learning – was awarded the Architecture & Innovation Award 2024. The project proposed a civic institution that acknowledges the library's evolving role: not merely a repository of books, but a negotiated threshold between public knowledge and institutional forgetting.
She draws rigorously – both literally and figuratively. Her process is grounded in technical precision, a conviction that the drawing set is itself an argument. Annotations are never decorative. Every dimension carries intent.
Currently seeking roles in design-led practices that value both craft and critical thinking. Available for freelance illustration and architectural visualisation commissions alongside studio positions.
