As part of a generation of architects graduating after the 2008 global financial crisis, Arthur Mamou‐Mani and Toby Burgess developed an ethos of digital self‐sufficiency. This is one that they have passed on to their students in Diploma Studio 10 at the University of Westminster, teaching them to self‐build using digital fabrication techniques, but also to fund their work through crowdfunding, while promoting it on social media.
