People. Roots. Legacy.

 

Why do I do what I do?

 

I have made a career out of my fascination with the human condition, and how we can influence our lives spiritually, economically, environmentally, over time and generationally. I work as an Associate Urban Designer in practice, am a qualified Architect, and a Theatre Designer, with contacts and collaborations across this spectrum which influences my drive as an Urbanist.

 

I am:

Enthusiastic, and care for place specific approach and narrative

Grounded, and promote grounded design

Straightforward and articulate

Interested and love to learn and deepen my knowledge of Urban Design

Creative and an advocate of inspired place-making

Rigorous and process driven

 

 

My UDG Executive Committee Manifesto

My manifesto included the following initiatives:

 

1 - Plain Language Initiative – working to ensure the public and other professionals can understand a language of urban design and removing barriers to engagement and supporting the discipline as it matures and grows. Urban Design needs to be understood by everyone. 

2 - Place-Keeping Initiative - working to promote the reading of existing places and promoting their maturity, through identification of existing and lost characteristics to support and develop place identity. Understanding the inherent narrative to places, and the initiative seeks to build upon the rich tapestry of history to promote grounded and deeply rooted settlements and places.

3 - Legacy Making Initiative - working to promote future proofing, long life, loose fit urbanism, which underpins sustainable future settlements and development. Encouragement and understanding the importance of designing the rhythm and grain for long term settlement vision including allowance for adaptability and flexibility for change and technological advancement.
