Teaching
Currently I am teaching design studios at various levels of the BA (hons) architecture course. At AUB we see architecture as a means of analysing, perceiving and projecting into the world through spaces, infrastructures, buildings, strategies and visions. We pursue an understanding of human relations, the evolution of cities, the development of culture and the preservation of our natural environments. We acknowledge the role that architecture plays in society and see architectural education as a vital opportunity to challenge and evolve how we think and act.
I previously taught architectural design and design & build workshops at the International Program in Design and Architecture (INDA) at the Faculty of Architecture, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok. Together with students and my teaching partner Paul Feeney we designed and realised a new school canteen and learning space in rural Thailand. Challenges included the construction of a multi-purpose structure on a small budget as well as the reuse and recycling of leftover industrial materials. I believe in the social impact of architecture and
an interdisciplinary approach in realising it.
Research
Research Interests and Projects
I have a particular interest in processes of transformation and reuse of existing typologies based on changing needs. In the past years I have studied various urban strategies and their potential for adaptation - from the Viennese courtyard typology, to post war developments in London and abandoned public landmarks in Bangkok.
Furthermore I am interested in drawing. Over the past years I have experimented with a variety of techniques including mixed media and collage, as well as moving drawings to include the aspect of time in architectural representation.
