MA(Cantab), Dip.Arch (Sheffield) Ph.D(Dundee), ARB

I am passionately interested in an underpinning ecological approach to sustainable design in order to address climate change. I studied architecture at the Universities of Cambridge and Sheffield before working in practice as a community architect in Lancashire and Scotland. My interest lies in the deep tacit knowledge that people have in relation to buildings and the means of accessing and utilising this in design through occupancy feedback in order to make building work better. A key aspect of this is reducing unnecessary resource consumption in buildings at every level and finding new ways to do this. I have previously held academic appointments in five Universities in the UK and act as visiting lecturer, critic and external examiner in several others.

Teaching Activities

In architectural education I have consistently innovated appropriate teaching methods and promoting best practice in the pedagogy of sustainable design. My research-led teaching, which promotes a bioregional and eco-systems based approach to design, has been disseminated at numerous international and national architectural education conferences as a seminal approach to sustainable design pedagogy ( including TIA 1997, 2000 –keynote speaker, RIBA 2002, OBU 2008, PLEA 2009) . Students are encouraged to explore means of “closing the loop” in terms of resource and energy use in design, using a combination of phenomenological, qualitative, place-bound approaches in tandem with more generic, quantitative technical studies. Cutting edge sustainable design techniques and tools are continuously introduced as they are developed. Investigations are always close to hand to allow in-depth and richly descriptive research and design to take place. All group and individual project work undertaken is related to live briefs which are then problematised prior to developing a responsive design. Client-representatives are involved at all stages and invited to reviews. In recent years, I have also added Building Performance Evaluation to my teaching, which is directly informed by my cutting edge research in this area.

My excellence and innovation in teaching was recognised when I was invited as one of ‘6 of the Best Educators in UK’ to give presentation at Innovation in the Built Environment Education Conference 10th October 2008, Sheffield, UK.

In 2008-2009, I co-organised ‘Designs on the Planet’ a series of three national conferences for schools of architecture, supported by the RIBA and SCHOSA, to address the agenda of climate change. Over two thirds of all the schools of architecture in the country were represented at these conferences.

My current teaching responsibilities in the School of Architecture are:

Director of Technology
PhD supervisor
Module Leader for ARC 307: Environment and Technology 5

I contribute to the following modules across the School:

ARC 107 Environment and Technology 1
ARC 108 Environment and Technology 2
ARC 308 Environment and Technology 6
ARC 125 Architectural Design 1
ARC 225 Architectural Design 3

ARC6990 Advance Project

Administrative Roles

Research Interests My research aims to situate the sustainable design of architecture within a bioregional context integrating people, process and place. This draws on my graduate and post-graduate studies which set up a platform from which to explore sustainable design as it relates to the user, and sustainable housing as a typology. My professional experience as an architect allowed me to further specialise in low energy design, user engagement, and the ecological specification of materials and products. This has established my approach to evidence-based design and building performance evaluation (BPE). This is situated within a developing understanding of the way people interact with technology and applied principles of design in relation to specific physical and cultural environments.
