Michael Sharman is a graduate of the School of Architecture & Building, Deakin. His academic interest
lies within in the digital practice of Architecture; from Computer Modelling methods, to advanced
processes of Parametric Design. Michael’s professional experience includes work for Archefusion in
projects that include the Lorne Sea Baths. As part of his research, Michael is interested in the
idea of Parametric Urbanism, with relation to generative design methods and the use of GIS data.
