She studied architecture at Columbia University, New York and the Architectural Association, London, is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and the Forum for Urban Design, New York, and has lectured extensively from Sweden and Latvia to the US and Brazil. Her books include 'Taking Shape' (Architectural Press, 2001), the first to examine in detail the theoretical antecedents and implications of 'ecological architecture and urban design'. Her work with R_E_D (www.theredgroup.org) centres on environmentally-led urban design, which increases urban resilience in the face of climate change, and can bring social and economic benefits in its wake.
