- Profile
-
I have combined architectural practice with teaching for many years and am particularly interested in creating synergies between architectural pedagogy and practice. Sustainable, low carbon design is central to my architectural agenda with a specific focus on performance led design.
As Technology Leader I have an overseeing role over the teaching of technology across the school and of our technical facilities and equipment. As TEL (Technology Enhanced Learning) leader I seek to innovate and implement new technologies to enhance pedagogy.
- Research interests
-
- Climate Based Daylight Modelling (CBDM) and its emerging role in architectural education and practice. CBDM integration into BIM workflow.
- BIM, environmental simulation and visualisation in relation to architectural education and practice.
- Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) in architectural education.
- Teaching activities
-
My main teaching activities are at MArch and Post Graduate Taught level and centre around architectural technology and sustainable design.
I coordinate the teaching of technology at MArch level (RIBA part II) and have pioneered a new approach to the integration of technology into studio design projects through the ongoing Complex Material Assembly programme.
In the PGT school I am co-director for the MSc in Sustainable Architecture Studies and I teach environmental simulation and building physics for sustainable design.
I have taught in the design studios at the Sheffield School of Architecture for sixteen years.
