Richard has always had a great respect for teachers. The seeds of an architectural career were first planted by his grade-five teacher. “I still remember him talking about architecture and, from that point, there was nothing else I was interested in pursuing.”
The learning experience of thousands of school kids is all the richer for it. With over 30 years’ experience in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, Richard’s expertise in helping schools integrate modern education philosophies into the design of new educational facilities is unsurpassed.
Providing design leadership to support contemporary models of learning, Richard champions collaborative and research-driven design, and regularly collaborates with leading education design specialists. A Past Chair of Learning Environments Australasia (A4LE), whose mission is to improve the places where people learn, Richard continues to be actively engaged with the association at regional and international level.
