Brendan has nearly 20 years of professional experience in architecture. Originating from Tasmania, he has worked around Australia before becoming a director of Antarctica in 2005.
Brendan often works with communities on locally – and State – funded projects. This experience ranges from large scale civic projects and commercial projects to many residential projects. He is interested in a socially engaged architecture and sees architecture as a powerful kind of strategic intelligence and mode of thinking that is capable of social intervention.
Since 2001 , Brendan has taught in undergraduate courses at RMIT, University of Melbourne and Swinburne University of Technology. At RMIT he has developed and conducted a series of architectural design studios over the past 8 years.
Teaching has allowed Brendan to research his architectural design interests at all levels of academia. A common thread of the design studios is that they engage with the socially complex world in which architecture occurs; one which sees architecture as capable of and responsible for ‘leaving the world a better place’.
