JTAIT is an architectural practice, based in Glasgow, working at the intersection of design, research, and community engagement.  The office works across various scales to explore new spatial, tectonic, social, and environmental possibilities for our future built environment.

 

JTAIT is led by James Tait – an Architect, Author, and Educator.

Winner of the internationally renowned RIBA and RIAS Silver Medals in 2008, he has since gained considerable experience as an Architect, leading a broad spectrum of high-profile projects at some of the best architectural practices in the UK. Key award-winning projects include the Olympic Energy Centres, London; City of Glasgow College and Hinshelwood Social Housing both in Glasgow.

In parallel with this experience as a practitioner, James is currently a PhD candidate at the Bartlett School of Architecture, London and has established an independent body of research as the author of ‘Entering Architectural Practice’ published by Routledge and ‘The Architecture Concept Book’ (Thames and Hudson).
