BIO

I am Professor of Architecture and Head of Discipline (Architecture) at Deakin University, based at the Geelong Waterfront Campus.

I am an experienced and successful teacher and academic leader: I have taught undergraduate and postgraduate architecture courses for more than 20 years, run BA and Postgraduate architecture courses, and have previously led the Department of Architecture and Landscape at Kingston University London, and contributed to School and Faculty management. I have extensive course and curriculum development experience, and in my Academic Leadership roles I have proactively supported colleagues in their teaching, academic management and research development.

I have degrees in Architecture and Fine Art from Australia and the UK, and am a qualified British architect with more than ten years' experience in architectural practice.

I am an active academic researcher engaged in critical practice and writing in the field of architectural representation. I have two linked strands of practice-based research: artists' filmmaking as a tool for producing time-based architectural drawings; and cyanotype printing to record light and shadow within architectural space.
