Welcome to my website
I am a freelance writer, covering architecture, urbanism and art...
plus topics including the design, space, reality, the past and future... and when I can, short stories!
I am Editor-at-Large at Korea's leading architectural magazine C3, a columnist for Chroniques d'architecture, contribute elsewhere and blog at The Other Site. I am co-founder of the Emotionalist movement and I also give talks.
I have written books about architecture and urbanism. My most recent was a monograph for global architects Mecanoo - People, Place, Purpose, Poetry (2023).
From 2006 to 2020, I wrote for, and later became Contributing Editor of, UK architecture/design magazine Blueprint. More recently, architecture correspondant for the South China Morning Post. I was a long-time contributor to art platform FAD Magazine and was a columnist for the Royal institute of British Architects Journal. I have been published extensively elsewhere in European and Pacific media titles. I curated Lisbon's first Open House weekend.
My work is accessible and researched – my approach is driven by curiosity and informed – my outlook is local, European and global. And I know three jokes.
I graduated from the University of London in Physics and Astrophysics. I have experience in publishing consultancy, news analysis, PR copywriting, chairing panels*, conducting tours, media training and more.
