Research interests
My study focuses on Concept Design, an expression that develops and uses with a tacit understanding passing down from architect to architect via a form of oral culture. The study has a great deal with this tacit understanding through employing Semantic ethnography and cultural analysis that digs deeply into the significance of the terminology and the empirical range of uses of the concept design within the milieu of architectural design practice.
Thesis title (tentative): Designing Tacitly: An Ethnography of conceptual thinking in Design Practices.
Supervisors: Dr Ray Lucas and Dr Alan Lewis.
