Research Interests My three key areas of research are 1) the social production of the architect and their architecture; 2) architecture and media (focusing on publishing and filmmaking) and; 3) architectural labour, neoliberalism and sustainable ecologies. I study architecture from a sociological perspective to determine the conditions in which architecture is, and architects are, socially, culturally and economically produced and have expertise in architectural sociology. My books include: 'The Politics of Making' (2017/2007); 'Transdisciplinary Urbanism and Culture' (2017); 'Architecture Filmmaking' (2019); 'Visual Research Methods in Architecture' (2021); and 'Spaces of Tolerance' (2021), and ‘Work-life Balance in Architecture’(2024).
