My research interest focuses on the broad spectrum of architectural utopianism, and specifically how the utopian impulse informs vernacular architecture: this underlies architectural responses to nature, such as better orientation, ventilation, organization, and structure related to economy. A publication, “The Battle for Utopia in Architecture,” is currently underway. I am currently helping to develop a program in Museum Studies at Philadelphia University. I have worked as an architect in London, Paris, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia. In addition, I have worked in museum preparation and exhibitions for the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles and the National Museum of New Zealand, Te Papa Tongarewa. While in New Zealand, I also taught architecture at Victoria University of Wellington and lectured on the conservation of art objects in transit.
