Research

Shaun’s research is design driven and practice-led. His doctoral thesis, entitled ‘Contemporary Applications of the Picturesque in Architecture: A Practice-led Approach’, explored how concepts, techniques, and strategies from the eighteenth century Picturesque can inform contemporary architectural design. His current research continues to explore themes emerging from his doctorate and is concerned with how visual methodologies from architectural practice might be re-appropriated to provide alternatives to more traditional modes of conducting research in architecture.��

Furrer und Partner; Matheson Whiteley; and Pitman Tozer Architects. Shaun continues to work as an architectural practitioner and is currently working on several practice-led design research projects for community interest groups, artist collectives and local authorities in the North East of England.
