a collection of notes on areas of personal interest
Right, now you’ve got to the boring bit that most sites seem to have. If you close your eyes, I’ll tell you when it’s all over…
By profession I am an architect, urban designer and planner, educated and trained in the United Kingdom and have been employed at various times and in various parts of north America, Europe and the Middle East – the latter being the setting for my main area of professional interest, and what has now developed into the greater part of this site.
In addition to working in the areas of architecture, planning, urban design and project management, I have taught architecture, urban design, graphic design and presentation techniques. These have brought additional benefit to me enabling me to gain wide experience and scales of involvement ranging in scale from the exciting design worlds of graphics, crockery, cutlery, glass and napery, furniture, interior, architectural, landscaping and urban design through to strategic planning. I have also been lucky enough to have worked in regulatory controls, change management relating to national and local government, and in primary education.
And there are a variety of other interests including but not limited to the arts, design, science and technical subjects, genealogy, writing, travel…
Right, I think that’s enough of that kind of thing. Most people have a fairly wide range of interests, but they do look a little odd, written down… Why is it people feel compelled to write all this kind of rubbish on their ‘about’ pages?
So, finally, my profound thanks if you’ve made it this far, and my profound apologies for what is likely to be the continuing state of development that will characterise this site.
That’s it, you can open your eyes now…
