About
My name is Jason, I'm an architectural graduate and interaction design researcher specialising in spatial aware and responsive technology. I've created real-time responsive, interactive installations and constructed architectural spaces, all with the desire to engage people with the places they inhabit. My design research is in opening up the overlap between the design of physical spaces, interaction systems and software which allow conversant architectures. Previously I've also taught design, interaction and construction in both the Bachelor and Master of Architecture programs at UTS, teaching primarily in the Computational Environments course. My work has been exhibited in Edinburgh, London, Pittsburgh and Sydney including the Edinburgh University Architecture gallery, Tap Gallery and Customs House, Sydney.
Up until recently I've been a design researcher at the University of Technology, Sydney, undertaking a Ph.D in spatial interaction with Bert Bongers as my supervisor.
Lately, however I've taken on a new role at Arup in Sydney, working with Dan Hill, as a designer in the relatively new realm of urban informatics. This role allows me to expand my exploration of the digital/physical overlap in the built environment, in the context of the real world (read: real projects, clients, briefs, budgets), something which I'm finding extremely rewarding. I'll be posting bits and pieces here when I can, with the remaining pieces being an outlet of my thoughts, findings and ideas.
