RESILIENCE: THE NEXT BIG SHIFT IN ARCHITECTURE

By Paul Denham

Traditionally an architect is thought of as someone who designs and builds something, usually a house, an office tower or a block of flats. However, with the rapid rise of urban populations, increased disruption from natural disasters fuelled by climate change and displacement because of geo-political conflicts, the traditional role of an architect is itself being disrupted. Engaging architects in a humanitarian response is gaining support as a necessary discipline to come up with solutions to these often devastating issues. In fact, when the new 2016 curriculum for UNSW Built Environment degree, Master of Architecture, was announced last year by its Director, Professor Xing Ruan, one of the four new pillars to be included was “social agency.” This, plus Judith Neilson’s $10 million endowment to UNSW Built Environment to research the design of emergency housing, has attracted Professor David Sanderson to our shores to be the inaugural Chair.

According to Professor Sanderson, he sees resilience as the future direction of architects and something that they cannot afford to ignore. He explains, “How can architecture teach the skills and tools to instil this [resilience]? Architects are just starting to wake up to this. It’s not just about building a product; it’s about helping people to be resourceful. Getting people to engage in their environments”

To say Sanderson is ahead of the curve regarding humanitarian architecture would be an understatement. Although he trained as an architect he has been working in humanitarian aid for the last 25 years. Before he moved to Sydney in February he specialised in urban disaster resilience and humanitarian aid at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. He studied architecture at De Montfort University and Oxford Brookes University in the UK and has held various positons with international aid agencies as well many teaching posts including Harvard University (see bio below).

One of the big questions that this Chair needs to answer is: how do we do urban growth fairly? “More and more people are moving to urban centres. Did you know that towns and cities are growing by about one million people per week, mostly in Asia and Africa? And four out of five refugees in Jordan fleeing Syria live in urban areas? There are nearly one billion slum dwellers in the world today and this may double in the next 20 years,” explained Sanderson.

Professionals tend not to be engaged with the marginalised so another big ticket item for this Chair is to get architects, planners and other built environment professionals involved in the social, economic and political dimensions of these growing problems. Sanderson says these could be from making sure the marginalised have a toilet to how we help “climate migrants”, people displaced, for instance, by sea level rises. And here’s one surprising fact: humanitarian aid is still mainly based on working in regional or remote areas. “Aid systems are based on rural assumptions. This is changing. We need to adapt these tools in aid thinking. What are the best investments aid agencies can make in urban areas? Do they provide an expensive shelter that lasts for three years or do they train people to build their own homes that last a lifetime?” asks Sanderson.

Above: An Adelaide house burns down in 2015. According to a study done by the University of Tasmania, Australian bushfires increased by 40% between 2008 and 2013.

There seems to be so many questions and not so many answers and that’s why Judith Neilson’s vision on this is so extraordinary. She seems to have donated just when the world needed her foresight and generosity as there is increasing awareness amongst leading thinkers in aid and architecture about what needs to be done. When you look at what’s happening with Europe and the millions of refugees fleeing Syria – the biggest shift of people since World War Two - the issues just seem insurmountable. United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon shares Neilson’s views. He’s driving the first-ever World Humanitarian Summit that will take place in Istanbul in May this year. The name of the launch report for the summit? OneHumanity: Shared Responsibility. It could not be more poignant. Just like the UN, Sanderson wants everyone involved, “I would love to see this work spread across UNSW, get every faculty involved.”

Did you know?

That the City of Sydney has a Chief Resilience Officer? The Rockefeller Foundation pioneered a new program called 100 Resilient Cities (100RC) which is “dedicated to helping cities around the world become more resilient to the physical, social and economic challenges that are a growing part of the 21st century.” One hundred cities around the world won a bid to receive financial assistance to employ a resilience officer amongst other resources.

More stats from Professor Sanderson

Asia and Africa have the largest urban shifts

A refugee is a refugee for an average of 17 years

Across the globe, towns and cities grow by approximately 180,000 people every day

The Faculty of the Built Environment invites applications for the Top-up Scholarship Semester 2, 2017 
 
Scholarship value
 
An annual stipend of $22,000 per year for three and a half years. There is also the possibility that the successful candidate could have access to significant in-kind support in terms of access to staff, data and support from the ARC project partners, although this will have to be negotiated as the project develops.  
 
Aim
 
To investigate how school principals, teachers, parents and other school community stakeholders might usefully contribute to the design of their school
 
Background
 
This PhD research forms part of a broader, three-year ARC Linkage project which started in March 2017 and which involves an unprecedented collaboration comprising: Infrastructure Australia; treasury and finance departments in NSW, Victoria, QLD and WA; education departments of six Australian jurisdictions; key private sector organisations; and three leading universities (UNSW, University of Melbourne, QUT).
 
The aim of the overall research project is to develop a world-first ‘Value Rating’ that maximises the educational outcomes (performance) facilitated by a school relative to the total costs of that built environment. This Value Rating is the basis for developing a new procurement decision-making framework which will help school design decision makers ensure that the contribution of a built facility to educational outcomes (performance) is optimised against the total costs of provision (including operational costs). The differential performance and costs in the delivery and operation of a school built facility arising from alternative procurement decisions (including public-private partnerships versus non-public-private partnerships) will be assessed and explained. All of these outcomes will be transferable to Catholic and Independent schools.
 
The UNSW PhD research is one of four PhD projects in the ARC Grant and will focus on how school principals, teachers, parents and other school community stakeholders might usefully contribute to the design of their school. There are two starting research questions:
 
  1. How might the school community best be incentivised to engage in design decision making? Drawing on recent research on knowledge as a form commons, this aspect would consider the conditions under which sharing design decision making rights will increase stakeholder engagement. 
  2. To what extent is the school community able to identify good design outcomes? Investigating the specific changes that principals and teachers would like to see in the design of their schools and comparing those with the improved value rating such changes would actually deliver in operation. 
 
Supervision and location
 
The PhD scholarship will be supervised by Associate Professor Sidney Newton and Professor Martin Loosemore in the Faculty of the Built Environment at UNSW. 
 
Selection criteria
 
The PhD scholarship is available to both: those with a background in design or construction wishing to better understand stakeholder engagement in the procurement of school infrastructure; and/or those with a background in education wishing to better understand the role that the design and management of school built environments play in delivering effective learning outcomes 
 
To apply
 
Applicants must show high academic achievement in an honours or masters by research or coursework program (with a research element) in a related discipline. 
 
Submit an EOI and include your CV (with two academic references) and a 500 word maximum statement clearly outlining your suitability for the position. Please also submit examples of your writing ability (such as previous research theses) and any publications you may have been involved in as an author. For full details, please sclick here.
 
Submit your statement to Associate Professor Sidney Newton. Please include “School Design ARC Project Top-up Scholarship” in the subject line of the email.
 
Submission Deadline: 1st June 2017.
 
Eligibility
 
Awards are made on the basis of academic merit, research experience and/or research potential, as well as suitability of the applicant’s application statement and interview performance.
 
Commencement of study
 
The successful applicant must be fully enrolled as a full-time candidate in the PhD program commencing Session 2, 2017. The conditions and responsibilities of candidature are as laid down by the UNSW Graduate School.

New Disability Innovation Institute will transform lives

By Fran Strachan

A new institute focusing on disability will harness research and innovation across all UNSW faculties and disciplines.

Disability researchers at UNSW Sydney are putting the finishing touches to a ground-breaking initiative to help transform the lives of people with disability by harnessing research and innovation across all faculties and disciplines.

The Disability Innovation Institute at UNSW, to be launched this year, will be a platform to combine disability studies with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Medicine) and HAS (Humanities and Science) research to design accessible and inclusive working, living and learning environments, generate innovative technologies and create inclusive law, policy, services, markets and communities.

The interdisciplinary institute will collaborate with people with disability to identify, understand and research solutions to the practical challenges experienced by people with disability. A Disability Inclusion Maker’s Exchange will connect scholars, makers and users to develop long-lasting solutions to the practical challenges experienced by people with disability.

Rosemary Kayess, Visiting Fellow at UNSW Law and Senior Research Fellow at UNSW’s Social Policy Research Centre (SPRC), says the institute will go well beyond merely improving physical access for people with disability.

“It will cover human rights law, how to embed disability into the design of STEM research, architecture and the built environment, how people engage, how we communicate, how we transact,” says Kayess.

“This is an area where nobody really claims global leadership and that’s why this has such enormous potential.”

About one in five Australians – 4.2 million people or 18.5% of the population – identify as having a disability. That number will likely to grow as Australia’s population ages, with one in two people predicted to develop an age-related disability over the next 20 years.

“Right now, we have almost 20% of the population who have not been able to engage with the community on an equal basis,” Kayess says. “That is an issue of inequality for people with disability but it also means we lose out on the notion of diversity and richness of difference.”

Kayess says the holistic linking of STEM with other faculties – Law, Arts and Social Sciences, Art and Design, Built Environment – to focus on disability innovation makes the institute unique.

“It’s not about social work, it’s not about medicine, it’s not about fixing people. It will have some of those things in it but overall it’s about harnessing innovation through collaboration to build an inclusive community,” she says.

SPRC’s Professor Karen Fisher says innovation is stimulated by unexpected connections and by necessity.

“Disability is one area where this happens,” Fisher says. “But these innovations can have the potential for a much wider impact and use across society. Smart home technology is a good example. Another is electronic voting, which was developed for accessibility but is now extending to the rest of the electorate.”

Associate Professor Leanne Dowse, from UNSW Arts & Social Sciences, says the institute will look inwardly as much as outwardly: “It will allow us to build on inclusive learning initiatives within the University as well as focus on sharing UNSW’s disability innovation externally through its focus on knowledge exchange.”

Fisher says that five of Australia’s Group of Eight universities have disability initiatives of some kind but no university-based initiative in Australia offers the scale and complete cross-faculty, inclusive disability focus that government and business are seeking.

“The institute offers the opportunity to provide a unique connection between UNSW scholars, community, industry, services, government and practitioners to fully utilise the creativity and innovation at our disposal and transform the lives of millions of people with disability,” she says.

“And the institute fits perfectly with the focus of UNSW’s 2025 Strategy on global impact, social engagement and building high-quality interdisciplinary research, as well as the University’s Grand Challenge on Inequality.”

Paola is interested in the Australian and International architectural history and urban history and their integration in the design of the built environment. She is currently studying and questioning the role of both architecture and urban design in solving design problems related to the contemporary 21st century.

Her work examines the architecture and urban design paradigms of the 1950s CIAM and their legacy; urban morphology and urban typology; concrete urban architecture from the 1960s.

She is currently studying how cities like Sydney may benefit in their future development from reconsidering historical discourses on architecture and urbanism, and from an appreciation of their urban morphology. This involves investigating the kind of patterns, and relationships between built forms, streets and spaces that emerge from the morphological and typological study of the city before and after the 1950s.

Associate Professor Matthias Haeusler

Research: 

Haeusler’s has major research achievements in Media Architecture, Responsive Environments, Smart and Ubiquitous Cities and Responsive Transport Environments. In his six years as academic, as part of his postdoctoral work and research as Lecturer at UTS and Senior Lecturer at UNSW, his research was centered on three discrete fields of knowledge that have been developed out of observations and involvement in academia and industry based research projects. These three knowledge domains are:

·    Media Architecture and Media Facades (I).

·    Augmenting Media Facades through embedding digital technology / ICT into a buildings façade (II).

·    Testing the effect of (I, II) on the case study of public transport.

Within these domains his research is applied in two main fields – first, responsive environments with media architecture and media facades in the center of the domain and second, smart and ubiquitous cities with embedding digital technologies into the built environment. Both fields are researched, tested, evaluated and discussed in the context of public transport to make it responsive transport. In the following the three knowledge domains are further discussed and research and publications in the domains listed.

Knowledge domain (I) Media architecture and media façade have been the starting point of Haeusler’s research. At the start of his academic career in late 2008 no scholar has discussed the field of media architecture through the lens of architectural design and with an architectural focus towards designing a media façade. Thus one could argue that through Haeusler’s work, he could address this gap and has contributed here to three main domains:

·    Foundation knowledge in the filed

·    Expanding the field through conceptualising new forms and techniques

·    Developing and testing new prototypes.

Media Architecture is the foundation of Haeusler’s research, a unique field in which he had major contributions in establishing the field by publishing the first academic publication ‘Media Facades – History, Technology, Content’ (avedition, 2009) that has been sold over 1700 times and is cited 56 times. Haeusler was also involved in establishing the Media Architecture Institute, first as a speaker and presenter in early summits and conferences in London 2007, Berlin 2008, Vienna 2010 and since 2011 board member and from 2012 to 2014 President of the organisation. The second book on media facades ‘New Media Facades – A Global Survey’ (avedition, 2012) is as well part of establishing foundation knowledge. He expanded the field further through conceptualising new forms as discussed in ‘Chromatophoric Architecture’ (Jovis, 2010). Lastly, his research during his employment at UNSW included several creative outputs where Haeusler tested under a design research methodology various forms of non-standard or complex curved screens, which have been presented to the public via exhibitions in Sydney, Frankfurt (Germany), and Aarhus (Denmark).

Knowledge domain (II) Augmenting Media Facades through embedding digital technology (ICT technology) into a buildings façade. The second main domain responsive environments and smart and ubiquitous cities have its roots in media architecture. Media architecture till the later 2000s was primarily a giant screen on a building facade. Here researchers and designers been occupied with enabling large screens on buildings and studying their impact onto architecture and urban design. With the rise of the smart phone and the cheap availability of sensors and open source programming language the notion of a media façade being just a screen changed to an understanding of a building being equal to a smart phone. Consequently Haeusler’s research shifted to embedding not only LEDs into a build skin but also sensors and transforming media facades into a hubs that could collect data as well as display information. In the following his work has been centred two discrete questions:

·    Developing an autonomous sensing and communicating system (prototype)

·    Initialising a thinking and theory to define the field and to further knowledge.

The development of the ‘Polymedia Pixel’ was the centrepiece of generating an autonomous sensing and communicating system. The work was discussed in three conference papers and the book chapter Autonomous Pixel’ (2009), From 2011 onwards the research here shifted from investigating a purely technical domain towards initialising a thinking and theory to define the field and to further knowledge. This has been communicated via the book chapter Media Facades – Quo Vadis? (2012) as well as two journal articles.

Knowledge domain (II) Testing the effect of (I, II) on the case study of public transport. As mentioned earlier both domains are researched, tested, evaluated and discussed in the context of public transport. This is reflected in Haeusler’s publications where seven publications since his employment at UNSW are focused on ‘responsive transport’ The main argument the research makes is that is either expensive, politically difficult or time consuming to building new train lines, bus routes or similar. Research has argued that public transport systems can be as well be improved through better transport passenger information. This is where Haeusler’s research tackles the problem. Passenger information can be provided via retrofitting systems with sensors, screens, computing components and ICT technologies that collect data within the public transport system, use the data to generate information about the system and feed them back to passengers via personal screens (smart phones) or public screens (media facades) to create better knowledge to make informed travel decisions. The findings of this investigation where communicated via the book ‘Infostructure – A transport research project’, (Freerange Press, 2012) and an edited book ‘Interchanging – Future Scenarios for Responsive Transport Infrastructure Design’ (Spurbuch, 2014) as well as four conference papers.

The main question now is understand how to enable a system where a loop between gaining information and displaying information could be automated to a point where the system could self generate content.

Grants: 

Haeusler is the Lead CI of an ARC Linkage Grant on Responsive Transport Environments.

The innovative aspects of the ARC research team, working together under the label ‘Encircle’, emerge from the combination of transport planning and engineering knowledge with urban design principles of public space, robotics engineering and human computer interaction design.

The project aims to investigate low-cost approaches to transport infrastructure expansion through the use of digital information technologies that work in combination with existing hard infrastructures to improve passenger flow through facilities and distribute loads across services by providing useable and novel forms of information to passengers. The vision is to enhance the customer experience while increasing mode-share and revenue performance of public transport, reducing operating costs, energy use and service disruption during periods of upgrade and refurbishment.

The research objectives are to:

  • - Investigate related research and projects in the area.
  • - Research user and other stakeholder requirements.
  • - Design, deploy and evaluate prototypes to proof-of-concept stage in real locations.
  • - Develop spatial and architectural integration of digital technologies and their application in public transport environments.

Innovations the project aims to achieve include:

Enhance the customer experience: responsive and user predictive technologies enable passengers to reduce waiting times, avoid crowding and more confidently navigate unknown parts of public transport environments.

Enhancing passenger flow without rebuilding existing infrastructure: minimising disruption and costs to transport service provision.

Coherent, architecturally designed and integrated smart public transport environment spaces:achieved for legibility and to avoid visual and spatial clutter within the research context of retrofitting existing stations.

Dynamic public transport environment information: the ability of signage and information to respond dynamically to changing contexts, such as delays and overcrowding.

Extending the trend for affordable soft infrastructure: features such as timetables and differential ticketing prices to optimise capacities avoid expenditure on high-cost hard infrastructures such as track and stations.

Improving accessibility for all user groups: the needs of different age groups and the cognitively, physically or visually disadvantaged will be included in development objectives.

Strategic value: with industry evaluating the growing range of partial and total digital information technology solutions on offer internationally, this research will establish a strategic understanding of the field for public transport environments in Australia

Scientia Professor Deo Prasad

Bio/About: 

Scientia Professor Deo Prasad is an international authority on sustainable buildings and cities and among the leading advocates for sustainability in Australia. Deo, a BE alumnus, is the first Scientia Professor in the Built Environment area. Deo won the 2006 Royal Australian Institute of Architect’s National Education Award for contribution to ‘sustainability education, research and design’. In 2004 he won the NSW State Government’s individual GreenGlobe Award for ‘showing leadership and commitment to the supply of renewable energy’.

Deo has also won the Federal Government’s national award for ‘outstanding contribution to energy related research’. He is a regular contributor to debate in this area in local and international media. Deo sits on numerous Boards and Committees in this field in Australia and abroad.

Deo has been Director of the UNSW Centre for a Sustainable Built Environment (SOLARCH), which has been Australia’s leading research group in sustainable buildings for the past 20 years. He has been teaching sustainability courses within the Faculty of the Built Environment at UNSW. He introduced the faculty’s Masters in Built Environment (sustainable development) program and has been its director since. Deo has published in excess of 220 key publications in this field and graduated 20 PhDs as supervisor.

Deo is currently the Chief Executive Officer of the CRC for Low Carbon Living, which is housed in UNSW’s Tyree Building. The Low Carbon Living CRC brings together key property, planning, engineering and policy organisations with leading Australian researchers to develop new social, technological and policy tools for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the built environment. The CRC will help unlock barriers to cost-effective carbon reduction opportunities, empower communities and facilitate the widespread adoption of integrated renewable energy. This will enable the sector to transition and contribute to Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions targets while maintaining industry competitiveness and improving quality of life.

Research
Deo has worked on some milestone projects such as Australia’s first solar village in Bonnyrigg (design, development, monitoring and validation studies), development and scientific validation of computer simulation tools for energy performance prediction in buildings and related green building assessment tools, consultant on a number of Green Olympics and other projects, Australian Greenhouse Office Baseline Study for GHG Emissions from Non-Residential Building Sector, Retrofitting residential dwellings and precincts study for Federal Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, BiPV modelling for Seoul City (for Korean Govt), CO2 emissions for city of Shanghai, Tokyo, Bangkok and Sydney . He has consulted to numerous local government bodies on sustainability strategy related matters (eg Newcastle City, Randwick City, Sydney City). Deo is a regular keynote speaker at international conferences (4-8 a year) in addition to his other speaking engagements.

Deo has made exceptional contributions to many areas of research. His principle interests lie in seeking evidence base for high performing, intelligent and sustainable buildings, exploration of holistic design process as the model for integration of environmental design concepts in the design of sustainable and healthy buildings and cities and advanced modelling techniques including the GIS approach to ecological footprint analysis solar mapping access in cities.

Deo is also interested in new and emerging technologies for buildings and the built environment particularly those supporting sustainable design outcomes. Deo is keen to explore policy development and implementation options in the area of urban planning, energy use, greenhouse gas emission reductions, sustainable cities, including subsidies/rebates for new technologies for urban environments.

More recently, Deo’s research has focused on climate change mitigation, adaptation, zero energy buildings and low carbon built environments. In these areas Deo is an advisor to the Canadian National Science and Engineering Research Council, United Nations Environment Program (Asia Pacific) and governments of Shanghai City, Beijing City and research arm of Tongji University’s Institute of Environment for Sustainable Development.

Research: 

Professor Deo Prasad has made outstanding contributions to the field of green buildings research in Australia. He is a passionate advocate of sustainable built environments internationally. Deo's key contributions are in the area of sustainable buildings, its key indicators and synthesising these into either assessment tools or building design. With qualifications in architecture, management and engineering he has a unique perspective on integrating multi-disciplinary knowledge to achieve best outcomes.  Deo was a co-author of the Australian Benchmark studies for greenhouse gas reductions in commercial buildings as per Kyoto targets (published by the Australian Greenhouse Office as a report in 1999 and the basis for a number of policy outcomes. Deo has conducted numerous case studies of all building types for their sustainability credentials (published by the Australian Council for Building Design Professions - EDGe Notes; 1995-2006). In fact he was one of the founding group of this very useful suite of Notes.  Deo has been a consultant on the recent Building and Construction Authority, Singapore funded project conducted by National University of Singapore on GreenMark Evaluation.

Sustainable Built Environment
Publications: 

Deo has published in excess of 250 key publications on the subject (including five books, about 30 chapters in books, numerous key journal papers and refereed conference papers – among the highest in the country in architecture) and is a regular keynote invited speaker at conferences in this field (averaging 6-8 per year).

In 2009 Deo was appointed an honorary ambassador for Sydney by the Business Events Sydney (NSW Government) to help in promoting Sydney as a high priority destination for scientific and other conferences and events.  He has chaired major congresses such as the Solar World Congress ( Adelaide 2001) and the Asia Pacific Solar Conference in Sydney (Sydney Darling Harbour 2008 and 2011).  Deo has Chaired the Australia New Zealand Solar Energy Society and been a Australian board member of the International Solar Energy Society. He also has been the Federal Minister of Energy’s appointment on the Board of Federal Government’s Energy Research and Development Corporation, elected Board member of the Sustainable Energy Industries Council of Australia and chaired the Standards Australia committee on energy in buildings.  Deo was the founding director of the NSW House Energy Rating Management Body (HMB) during which time it became a viable approach to sustainability assessment for buildings in Australia.  It now has been transferred to industry to run as a leading body underpinning building environmental assessment in Australia (ABSA).  During his time HMB helped create in excess of 220 small and medium businesses.   Deo also came up with the vision for the now national Sustainable Living Competition for high schools in Australia.  This is open to and engages all high school students in understanding and creating new paradigms for sustainable living in our communities.  This project was a finalist for Eureka Awards, 2001.  Deo has been part of numerous Australian Trade Delegations in the areas of clean energy/green buildings (eg Korea, Taiwan, Dubai & China).  Most recent of these include the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering delegation to Korea on ‘Green Growth’ (2010) and he led the NSW Government delegation on Low Carbon cities to the World Expo in Shanghai in 2010.  

International

Deo sits on numerous Boards and Advisory Committees in this field including the  National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada’s Solar Buildings Research Network (Concordia Montreal – Board member and now Scientific Committee), United Nations Environment Program’s ‘UNEP Eco-Peace Leadership Centre’ Board (Seoul), ‘UNEP-Tongji Institute of Environment for Sustainable Development’ (Shanghai), ‘Beijing Energy and Environment Centre’ (part of Beijing City Government), ‘UNEP (Asia Pacific) Special committee on sustainable cities’ (Bangkok), ‘International Solar Energy Society Board’ (Freiburg, Germany), ‘National Fenestration Rating Council USA’ (expert) and BiPV expert panel on BCA Singapore Zero Energy Building.  Deo chaired the Asia Pacific Global Civil Society Forum for four years.  In this role he hosted the Asia Pacific meeting at UNSW, Sydney in 2008 on International Environmental Governance.  Deo is a consultant to a number of cities in Asia Pacific on sustainability matters through his work for the special committee of UNEP.  He recently convened a White Paper Series on sustainable cities (2009) for the UNEP and co-wrote the Green Universities Guide on Infrastructure Development (2012) for the Global Universities Partnership on Environment and Sustainability (GUPES/UNEP).  Deo regularly contributes to the work of International Energy Agency (IEA) in this area as well. He led an IEA expert task on building integrated photovoltaics and co-wrote a commissioned IEA book on the subject (designing with Solar Power) in 2004.  Since 2009 Deo has been on the Academic Advisory Board to the Council of the Universiti Technology Petronas – a group of eight Professors from around the world under the Chairmanship of Tun Dr Mahhatir Mohammed the current Chancellor of the university.  UTP has a goal of reaching the top 200 research universities by 2020 with considerable funding from their sponsor Petronas.

Associate Professor Catherine Bridge

Bio/About: 

Catherine has a significant National and International reputation in the area of enabling environments, as evidenced by invited participation in: International Design Awards as a judge; International forums and publications; Commonwealth Governments Building for the Future Consumer information committee; National and State based Home and Community Care planning; and the NSW Premiers 2030 Roundtable on Ageing as one of Australia’s eminent experts on housing solutions for older people.

Her housing research portfolio includes: research on housing and care; housing and health; older people and sustainability; accessibility of the built environment and extensive research on home modification interventions.

In 2006, Catherine was awarded a plaque by the Sri Lankan Urban Development Authority for her input regarding the creation of a non-handicapping environment in the National rebuilding initiatives undertaken following on from the Tsumani of 2004.

She directs the Home Modification Information Clearinghouse (HMinfo) Project which was nominated for the NSW Premiers Public Service Award in 2006. HMinfo is a recurrent research consultancy project funded by the Home and Community Care Program (60% Commonwealth and 40% State based) and was established to develop and disseminate an evidence base for Home Modification Interventions in Australia.

Research: 

Catherine has been instrumental in researching the intersection of environmental impact on human performance.  Her funded research has been sustained and substantial. Over the last decade her grant income has totalled several million dollars. The majority of research reports are available online and have made a significant impact nationally and internationally on both housing policy and practice and have been cited in National Productivity Commission reports.

Within the University, Catherine’s contribution to the overall research performance quantum and research review outcomes both within the City Futures Research Centre and the larger Faculty of the Built Environment have been significant. Her research program is strategic and is shaped by a clear vision that builds on significant faculty, interfaculty and industry collaboration.

Dijana Alic

Research: 

Dijana's research interests focus on the relationship between modernity and national expression in architecture, particularly in the context of (post-World War 2) 'Eastern' Europe. In her teaching Dijana draws inspiration as well as theoretical understanding from her research. In developing the design curriculum she aims to enhance the links between architectural design and broader socio-political contexts.

Key research areas include: war and architecture, modern architecture and national expression in Eastern Europe, cross cultural histories of modern architecture in Europe and Australia, heritage studies, technology, multiculturalism and cultural memory.

Dr Sing D'Arcy

Bio/About: 

Sing realised his undergraduate architectural studies at the University of Sydney, where he later returned to complete his PhD in architectural history.

His primary research interests relate to the role of music in the configuration of sacred and ritualised spaces, the architecture of the Early Modern Ibero-American realms (Spain, Portgual, their European possessions, the Americas & Asia 1450 - 1800), and in particular those of the Baroque period.

He is also a regular contrinutor to industry journals providing reviews on contemporary Sydney interiors, especially on innovative workplace design and hospitality.

Research: 

Sing’s research focus concerns architecture and interior spaces of early-modern Europe, focussing on the Iberian Peninsula, Southern Italy, and Latin America; ecclesiastical and sacred spaces and their configuration through ritual and the nexus between architectural space and music.

In 2013 he was appointed as an Associate Investigator with the ARC Centre for Excellence for the History of Emotions: Europe 1100-1800, Performance Program.

http://www.historyofemotions.org.au/our-research/research-programs/performance.aspx

He also conducts research into the history and development of Australian interiors from the 19th and 20th centuries. 

In addition to historical research Sing also engages with current issues relating to contemporary interiors and the 21st-century city such as workplace design and temporary interiors.

Dr Paul Osmond

Director, Sustainable Built Environment program
Bio/About: 

Paul Osmond has been engaged with sustainable development since the 1980s, both in practice and more recently, through teaching and research. He joined the Built Environment Faculty in 2010, from his previous position as manager of the former UNSW Environment Unit where he was accountable for development and implementation of the University’s Environmental Management Plan. Prior to this role, Paul worked in local government, where he was responsible for the delivery of a variety of pioneering environmental management, landscape and urban design programs and projects. His previous professional background includes experience in forestry, freelance technical journalism and the metal industry. Paul has qualifications in applied science, environmental management and landscape design. His PhD research focused on methods for evaluation and design of sustainable urban form. He is a Certified Environmental Practitioner, Practitioner member of the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment, Registered Environmental Auditor, Green Star Accredited Professional and a member of the International Association for Urban Climate Member and International Ecological Engineering Society.

Research: 

My research interests cover a range of topics within the broad ambit of built environment sustainability, including urban morphology, urban metabolism and ecosystem services, urban climatology and architectural/urban ambience (experienced physical and psychological qualities of the built environment). I see the future direction of my research as consolidating and developing the above, with a key objective being to support the emergence and growth of recognised “nodes of excellence” around these (and related) topics. My most recent research project experience has been as chief investigator and lead author for the Guide to Urban Cooling Strategies, launched in August 2017 by the Cooperative Research Centre for Low Carbon Living; and as member of the National Green Infrastructure Network team which delivered the Urban Ecology Desktop Review and Blueprint for Living Cities: Policy to Practice reports for the NSW Environmental Trust in April 2017.

Ainslie Murray

Bio/About: 
Ainslie Murray is an interdisciplinary artist, architect and academic based in the Architecture Discipline in the Faculty of the Built Environment at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.
 
Her work explores the augmentation of architectural space through subtle realisations of forgotten and intangible spatial forces. The atmosphere and its relation to the lived experience are areas of special interest which have focussed her practice-led research for over 15 years. Ainslie’s work ranges from large-scale immersive installations and constructions, to film, painting, textiles and printed works.
 
Ainslie’s principal interest is in forms of space-making that often escape attention, including ephemeral, minimal and immaterial forms of architecture. She makes work that investigates these forms of architecture in relation to climate, ecology and energy and frequently works in an interdisciplinary and collaborative mode. In her teaching, Ainslie questions the boundaries between art, architecture and landscape through a range of undergraduate and postgraduate design studios and interdisciplinary courses.
 
Ainslie was awarded her PhD in Visual Arts from Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney, in 2011. She has lived in Adelaide, London and Munich and is now based in Sydney. Her work has been exhibited throughout Australia and internationally in Canada, China, Denmark, Japan and the UK.
