Research Interests

My research and design interests lie in architectural design that intersects issues of sustainability, health, accessibility, culture and new technologies, in particular virtual design & education. In particular, my research is an investigation into the relationship that humans have with buildings, culturally, socially or environmentally, and how architects can improve design practices to build better buildings for our society. Ultimately, it is quite literally about creating a better (built) world for all.
