I am an architectural theorist, researcher and creative practitioner. I served as an academic at RMIT for 20+ years, and then at the University of Newcastle, where I am currently an Honorary Professor. My academic leadership evolved into the area of creative practice research, and have supervised more than 20 Creative Practice PhD candidates through to completion. I resigned in 2023 and am now focused on writing. My creative practice is called Onomatopoeia (onomatopoeia.com.au), which spans experimental architectural projects, installations, sculptural works, drawing and writing. I have edited two books: Plastic Green: designing for environmental transformation (RMIT Press, 2009), and The Innovation Imperative: Architectures of Vitality (AD, Wiley, 2013), and published essays and articles in a very wide variety of contexts. In addition to solo work, I write with the Expanded Writers Collective.
