BArch (Tunghai), DipLA (Edinburgh), MSc (Strathclyde), PhD (Edinburgh)

I joined SSoA as Lecturer in 1995 and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2003. I completed my PhD at EdCAAD under John Lee and Aart Bijl. Prior to completing my PhD in 1994, I was a Research Assistant and then a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the University of Brighton. At SSoA, I have been teaching modules on computer aided architectural design, interactive architectural and urban visualisation modelling, and more recently, computational design. I am a keen pursuer of interdisciplinary research and research-led teaching where the possibilities of co-designing physical and virtual environments are explored through multiple perspectives and technologies.

Teaching Activities

I teach subject areas relating to digital modelling and simulation in architectural and urban design. My teaching is guided by the principle of enquiry-based learning where the teaching of particular types of computing systems such as Collaborative Design, Visualisation, Simulation, Generation, Fabrication, goes hand in hand with framing and exploring research questions and design challenges. Hence I have been pursuing every opportunity of research-led teaching supported my research projects that often resulted in the design and development of experimental modelling platforms and interactive digital content such as SUCoD, Townscaping, uCampus and AHE.

Currently, I teach the following modules: ARC6700 Interactive Architectural and Urban Visualisation Modelling; ARC6750 Computer Aided Architectural Design, ARC6848 Introduction to Computational Design (with Dr Mark Meagher); ARC6849 Methods in Computational Design (with Dr Mark Meagher). I also supervise dissertation projects under ARC322 Special Study, ARC566 MArch Dissertation, and ARC6990 Advanced Project. I am leading the development of a new MSc in Digital Design and Interactive Environments due to start in September 2014 subject to the University Approval.

Research Interests

I work in the field of architectural and urban computing. My research interests cover:

Climate Change Conscious Urban Neighbourhood Design (C3UND)
To investigate how the next generation environmental modelling platform capable of supporting interactive climate change conscious urban neighbourhood design (iC3UND) can be developed and tested in real stakeholder and user contexts.

Semantic Annotations in Architectural & City Modelling and Writing
To investigate the fundamental computational mechanisms with which 3D virtual modelling and natural language writing about buildings and cities can be interlinked to create a new digital pathway for scholarly communication of advanced architecture and city studies.

Locative Media and Social Computing in Urban Context Gathering and Modelling
To investigate the effects of locative media and pervasive social computing on participative mapping and modelling of contemporary city context as a basis for informing urban regeneration planning and design.

Mixed Reality Modelling and Co-Design of Smart Environments
To investigate if non-immersive physical model based mixed reality modelling can provide a agile participative framework for interdisciplinary design teams to co-design smart environments with users and stakeholders.
