Biography

I am a chartered architect and an independent consultant on sustainable urban development, with experience in research and research led teaching.

In brief my research focus is on the influence of emerging urban morphologies in regulating the energy exchanges that characterise densely built urban landscapes. These investigations draw attention to many of the interdependent built form effects which currently fall outside the broader discussion on sustainable urban development, and represents ‘first steps’ for the inclusion of urban climate research into built environment practice.

These built form outcomes are being explored through a series of ‘proof of concept’ activities which includes the curation of the urban climate walking tour series and those associated with the urban commons, and the need for clean and comfortable air.
