I am currently engaged in the full PhD programme at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. The focus of my research is on gathering experiences from a sustainable building project and providing an inspiring exemplar. The idea that will be developed in my research is: how to demonstrate an example of a sustainable building project in order to explore the motivation of individuals and various groups who choose to become involved in it?
