Seth Scafe-Smith

RESOLVE Collective

Seth is a director at RESOLVE Collective, a UK-based interdisciplinary design practice who combine architecture, engineering, technology and art to address social challenges.

With RESOLVE Seth has delivered numerous projects, workshops, publications, and talks in the UK and across Europe, all of which look toward realising just and equitable visions of change in our built environment. Through RESOLVE, much of his work aims to provide platforms for the production of new knowledge and ideas, whilst collaborating and organising to help build resilience in communities.

Seth, alongside Directors Melissa Haniff and Akil Scafe-Smith, leads a portfolio of work that interrogates and deconstructs existing systems around education, material distribution and community infrastructure, in order to propose radical structural shifts. An integral part of this way of working means designing with and for under-represented groups in society.

Seth spent 5 years an undergraduate unit tutor at the Architectural Association in London, as well as a trustee of the board of built environment think tank Theatrum Mundi. In 2023, Seth received a RIBA Honorary Fellowship for his contributions to the field of architecture.
