In an exclusive interview with Building Design, Eleni Kyriacou says the Bartlett systematically discriminated against women in its grading and destroyed many potential careers as a result

The whistleblower whose complaints triggered the investigation that uncovered the toxic culture spanning decades at the Bartlett School of Architecture has welcomed the “damning” report which she said vindicated the victims.
