Jamie Henry

Jamie Henry is an Architect and director at Affect Studio. In addition to his role at affect studio, Jamie continues to teach in the undergraduate architecture programme at the University of Edinburgh.

Jamie has experience across a range of sectors, including higher education, community projects, urban design, and bespoke residential developments and alterations. He is a problem-solver and an opportunist: taking delight in drawing something special out of a difficult set of constraints. He is attentive and understanding, and believes that good design requires empathy for the occupants of its spaces.

Having graduated with distinction from Edinburgh University, Jamie was awarded the Andrew Grant Research Scholarship in 2014. His thesis ‘Towards a Stuttering Architecture’ examined how buildings which have reached a state of obsolescence or disrepair can offer unusual or uncanny insights into how we understand buildings and our place within them. His student work has been recognised in a number of international competitions, including reaching the shortlist for the RIBA Bronze Medal in 2012.
