Biography summary
Michael is a Lecturer in Digital Architecture at the School of Architecture & Building Environment, Deakin University. He currently serves as course coordinator for the D364 Architecture/ Construction Management combined degree. With academic interest in the digital practice of architecture; from computer modelling techniques, processes of parametric and generative design, to methods of digital fabrication and prototyping. This has translated in some part to his teaching in areas of Architectural Communication (modelling, drawing and documentation), different levels of Architectural Design and more recently second Construction and Structures.
