Profile Information
- About Me:
- I am director of Michaelangelo Design (2008) in Christchurch New Zealand. The range of work that we undertake varies from commercial and residential Architecture and Landscape through to Interiors, Illustration, industrial design and finding Eco-solutions.
I am exploring aspects of existing technology to innovate new solutions. Automobile design, technology and construction has much to offer the building industry. As a result I am interested in lightweight buildings that can be transported, erected, added to, made smaller and are more ecologically efficient than traditional western systems of construction.
Also interested in alternative solutions/management to street and pedestrian lighting which appears to light up outerspace especially in the small hours of the morning when no one is really using it!
Another side to my experience is in the field of Health. During my career -possibly halfway through-I decided to study Traditional Chinese Medicine! Everyone thought I was mad, a change from teaching Architecture to becoming a student of alternative medicine! Well I completed my studies and eventually founded a school of Natural Medicine in Christchurch which had 5 faculties and approx 200 students. I soon realized that I was no practitioner, although skilled, I found seeing sick people day after day was not for me. My journey into the health field not only opened a lot of doors for other people but for me it fused the fields of Architecture and landscape with health.
The way the ancient Chinese described health was in Landscape terms. 5 Elements and their interaction. Ecology is the same, one system relying on another.
