Teaching Fellow
BA(Hons) (Sheffield), DipArch(Dist) (UCL), RIBA, ARB
After qualifying as an architect at the Bartlett School, UCL, I joined van Heyningen and Haward Architects in London, becoming a director of the practice in 2000 and working on a variety of high profile educational and cultural buildings. I have taught on the MArch course since 2001 and, since 2003, practiced in Sheffield, specialising in art/architecture projects.
It is very important to me that I both practice and teach architecture and that each informs the other. My research is developed through practice and I actively encourage a methodology of action research in my teaching.
| Teaching Activities |
I tutor a MArch design studio that explores ways in which architects can learn from other site-specific disciplines such as installation and relational art, performance and archaeology to develop new ways of working with social, physical and political contexts. This is informed and informs my own research-by-practice in which I work with artists to explore how intimacy can be nurtured between people and place. I also coordinate and tutor the Approaches in Architectural Design module in the MAAD (Masters in Architectural Design) course and the Participation module in the MAUD (Masters in Architecture and Urban Design) course. |
| Administrative Roles | I coordinate the Live Project programme of the MArch course. |
| Research Interestes | My PhD by Design is investigating the opportunities to redefine the site survey as a transformative and collaborative tool. I am particularly interested in performative survey techniques where potentialities of site are revealed by acting on site with other people. |
