Helen Duong

Helen Duong is an Associate Lecturer in Architecture and Urban Design at RMIT University, where she coordinates Professional Practice Subjects. These subjects explore professional ethics and regulatory mechanisms in architecture, procurement and contracts that shape how buildings come into being. She encourages students to explore ways to transform the profession's service to the public through measurable outcomes and impact-driven value. This approach has been shared through research papers and talks, including discussions at MPavilion and The Wellbeing of Architects Symposium. With over 15 years of experience, she has worked with various Melbourne design practices and taught at RMIT, Melbourne School of Design, and Monash University. Currently, she is a director and registered architect at PanDA.
