Joe Allan

Part 1 Architectural Assistant

​

Joe took a circuitous route into architecture, having tried his hand at acting and directing before working as a sales manager in a large department store chain. It was the building that Joe worked in as a sales manager that sparked his interest in architecture, and upon being made redundant, he began his new career, starting his degree at Portsmouth.

​

Joe loves the mix of creativity and logic involved in architecture and the way it draws on so many aspects – history, art, science and literature – while also focusing on how people and buildings connect emotionally and practically.

​

When not working, Joe enjoys meeting friends, strolling along the coast and catching up with the latest film at the cinema. He uses his graphic design skills to support a local amateur dramatic group and is looking forward to treading the boards again once his studies are complete.
