My research explores the inter-relationship between human beings and the spatial systems we inhabit, and the work spans the fields of architecture, art, film and performance, with particular focus on the way that inter-disciplinary practices can impact on the arena of architectural design, representation and spatial production. Specific interests include semiotic, interactive and reflexive systems in architecture; performative and site-specific practice in fine art and narrative construction and mediation in film and video. I am also interested in the representation and documentation systems deployed across these fields as part of their creative process.  Notable recent works are:  'This is the Interface' (Royal Academy, London 2017) 'Light Vessel Automatic' (Performing Architecture, Tate Britain, London 2013), and 'Edge City' (Lisbon Architecture Triennale, 2013).  Recent publications include 'Falling' published by Copy Press in 2015 and Field Poetics published by Ma Bibliothèque in 2018 (both co-authored with Dr. Kristen Kreider).  I am a member of the ‘Understanding Conflict’ Research Cluster at the University of Brighton, where I am a current recipient of an AHRC TECHNE doctoral award to research transformational architectural approaches to the contested spaces of the ‘interface areas’ of Belfast, Northern Ireland.
