Sophie Hutchison

Part 2 Architectural Assistant

Sophie began her studies at the University of Strathclyde in 2019, completing her BSc in 2024 and her Master’s degree in 2025, following a Part 1 Placement with Keppie Design in 2022-23.

Her Master’s design project explored the creation of accessible grandstands within Formula One, using Glasgow as a case study. Building on this, her thesis “Beyond Compliance: Reengineering Accessibility” examined how accessibility within sports venues can be reimagined to go beyond minimum standards.

A passionate sports spectator, Sophie has attended several Formula One races and hopes to experience many more in the future.
