Notă biografică

Derek’s career has been in architectural practice for forty years coupled with engagement with the academic environment at university level – specifically in third and final year architectural studies and environmental science (MA). This experience has provided insights into what attributes constitute the best in architectural design, and with travel has provided me with an overview of architectural examples that are iconic and highly acclaimed. He is a published author of books on architecture (Architectural Press, 2002) and urban design (Routledge, 2016).
