Isabelle Priest (United Kingdom) was born in rural Cambridgeshire and found a particular interest in contemporary architecture as it provided such a different model to what was immediately available to her – East Anglian vernacular, John Vanburgh, even Robert Adam. The first memorable experience of this interest began with one of the first Modernist houses in Britain, New Ways (1925-1926), by Peter Behrens in Northampton. This led Isabelle to study architecture at The Bartlett, UCL (UK) and completed study on an AHRC-funded place for a Masters in Architectural History, again at The Bartlett in 2012. Her dissertation on Le Corbusier was shortlisted for the 2013 RIBA President Award for Research. Having worked in Amsterdam at A10 in 2011, she has worked at a number of architecture magazines including Architecture Today and The Architects’ Journal, and written for several others. She is now assistant editor at The RIBA Journal in London. In 2016 Isabelle was named IBP Architecture Writer of the Year.
