Before settling into full-time practice, he had been a technical editor for the weekly journal for architects, and for three years a full time university lecturer in architecture in Malaysia, and subsequently part-time for a number of years at the University of Portsmouth. He has exploited every opportunity of introducing art into architecture, and has commissioned a number of works for clients. He was responsible for designing the disabled access to the Brougham Road gallery and subsequently its conversion to studios. He hopes to assist Art Space in assuring the future of artists’ studios of the highest standard in well-maintained and serviced accommodation.
