Biography
I have 4 strands of research, resulting in the publication of 2 books, 2 journal articles, many conference papers, and 5 public exhibitions. These areas of research are urban spatial analysis, digital space making, site-specific making, and teaching practice. The complex construct of the city and the central role it plays in society is the focus of design and research. Speculation on the impacts of digital tools and processes has been ongoing throughout my career, with 10 years of research examining the space of social interaction with digital tools. The collaborative work of Locus concerns the act of making in the physical world, using material construction to explore architectural space as embodied experience. All 3 areas of research explore the wider theme of spatial experience and perception; pursuing this key architectural concept through the examination of individual circumstances with specific techniques. This has led to developing expertise across a range
