Through our world-renowned collaborative research and collaboration with the industry, our teaching focuses on addressing the current and future industry demand.
Within our vibrant studio environment, we encourage a culture of experimentation and discovery. We celebrate blue-sky thinking to inspire the design of functional, beautiful, sustainable spaces, which improve people’s quality of life.
The impact of our interdisciplinary research is creating sustainable engineering solutions that address critical environmental challenges.
Our multi-discipline teaching approach is developed and delivered with industry partners, providing a learning experience that replicates the real world of work in Civil Engineering.
As my alma mater for multiple degrees, the University of Adelaide has provided me with a multidisciplinary education and broad perspective on the world. This world-class institute has opened many doors for my career and allowed me to work for internationally renowned, top-tier design practices across Australia. Studying there also facilitated my transition into academia where I have enjoyed working at five universities across Australia and the UK. I use my extensive industry experience – bolstered by international, national and state awards, fellowships and grants – to help students think creatively and critically on matters of local, national and international importance. In collaboration with professional bodies and the University of Adelaide, I am a strong advocate for architecture and landscape architecture, and I continue to publish books, chapters and articles providing industry perspectives.
