Barbara Kaucky is an Austrian architect who studied in Vienna and Berlin before moving to London, where she co-founded Root And Erect (originally Erect Architecture) in 2003. Root And Erect is a feminist, RIBA Chartered architecture and landscape design practice. Guided by a belief in the common good the practice shapes shared spaces to engage, connect and empower communities, working at varying scales - from single buildings and play spaces to streetscapes and neighbourhoods. Root And Erect’s holistic, living- systems approach prioritises sustainability and enriches the fabric of city life.

Barbara serves on multiple design review panels and for several years chaired the RIBA Small Practice Group.

She is passionately invested in regenerative, living systems design and trains with Regenesis Group, a forerunner in the field of regenerative development.

Outside her professional life Barbara volunteers with Core Landscape, a mental health and gardening charity, and for St Joseph’s Hospice Dementia Well-being East London programme.
