About

Jules brings over 30 years of academic and professional practice experience to lead collaborative trans-disciplinary design and research. My core expertise is the critical exploration of how technology affords new insight and opportunities for design research and creative practice. I’m from an architectural computing background, where I pioneered the use of multiplayer video games as collaborative virtual environments for design. This expertise in the spatial design of virtual worlds is now deployed in projects that include: immersive big data simulations; the simulation of hybrid building facades; the pre-occupation evaluation of environments and places; and collaborative learning environments. This applied research is complemented by creative practice, in which hybrid physical-digital installations explore intangible natural phenomena.
