Associate Professor in the house!

Congratulations to our Director Melonie Bayl-Smith who in January commenced a fractional appointment at the University of New South Wales' Faculty of the Built Environment as Associate Professor of Architecture - Professional Practice. This new role is a strategic move for the FBE, with the School of Architecture moving towards more significant integration within studio projects to assist students and graduates to better understand the changing role and demands on the contemporary architect. To support this pedagogy, Melonie is writing two new Professional Practice subjects to be introduced in 2021, drawing on her extensive involvement in architectural education, her work in practice, and professional contributions as registration convenor and long-time advocate for architects and architecture.
