So why Cardiff School of Architecture ?

Strong research reputationHistory of examining sustainable design from a wide perspective – technological innovation and human dimensionsPotential for research collaboration – potentials to work with those who have funding to support research in Wales – make connections to the Welsh Government – SME community in renewable energy in WalesStrong student community

What am I bringing to Cardiff School of Architecture …

Success in research fundingEight years post-doctoral experience both in research and in teaching sustainable designGood publication historyTeaching versatility – teaching studio, building physics and architectural theory in relation to sustainable designResearch in innovative pedagogy in HEAnd what’s really important, I care about lifestyle change, the actual performance of buildings and about challenging the sustainability agenda in architecture.

Teaching across the MA programmes

• Sustainable Design• Building Performance - Post-occupancy, human behaviours• Sustainable Building Conservation (sustainable materials, and conservation

methods)• Sustainable Energy and the Environment (outreach to SME community in

Wales)• Sustainable Mega Buildings (building tall and building sustainably in wood)

How can my expertise be used to develop the Masters programmes in the School?”

I would like to develop a critical/humanities perspective on the question of building performance – truly holistic perspective on the question of lifestyle.Relational ecologies (link contemporary philosophy)Reconnect sustainable design to the avant-garde in fine art/ philosophyDevelopment of my own MSc/MAPhD Students

AspirationsFull professorGood research funding – connect with Welsh initiativesTo develop a reputation within the field of architectural humanities /critical perspectives on sustainable design
