Matthew Blunderfield is a photographer and host of the podcast Scaffold. He teaches architecture at the Royal College of Art and is a producer at The Architecture Foundation.
Matthew’s photography has been published in the Architects’ Journal, Superposition Magazine and the Architectural Review, and has recently featured in At Home in London: The Mansion Block, a book-length study co-published by the Architecture Foundation and MACK.
Scaffold is an ongoing interview project that maps the shifting contours of contemporary architecture. Beginning independently in 2018, it became a flagship of the Architecture Foundation’s programme in 2021, and is now one of the most widely recognised podcasts of its kind.
At the RCA Matthew teaches an M.Arch design studio with Cathy Hawley developing alternative models of collective living. His teaching is broadly concerned with establishing new frameworks of pleasure and comfort in the context of the climate crisis. Formerly he has taught at Cambridge University and the Kingston School of Art.
Born and raised in Vancouver, Matthew studied English Literature at the University of British Columbia and Architecture at the University of Toronto, before completing his RIBA Part III qualification from the Bartlett, UCL. He previously practiced architecture at Waugh Thistelton Architects, David Kohn Architects and Henley Halebrown. He lives in London.
