Bio

After a number of years in Vancouver working as a contractor, architect and community organizer, I spent three years in Papua New Guinea working for their national government designing schools in some of the more remote areas of the planet. In 1998 I took a teaching position at King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi in Bangkok, Thailand. The KMUTT School of Architecture and Design provided the opportunity to expand on some personal goals about improving the relevance of architecture to basic needs and human rights. I continue to work on this through yearly community workshop studios in the slums of Bangkok, architecture programs for slum kids, more recently tsunami recovery projects in Phang Nga, work with migrant construction workers and through the Centre for Architecture and Human Rights the aim of which is to bring a rights-based approach to architecture and development through alternative education, research and monitoring.
