In his architectural practice, teaching and research Dr Robert Doe has pursued methods and examined technologies that improve interaction between participants engaged in the design and production of buildings. In practice he has led integrated project teams on complex urban residential projects, and has also co-directed a company which manufactured prefabricated components and modules. In teaching and research, he has focussed on computational design methods which improve building lifecycles, from conceptual to design development to the operational stages. He firmly believes that new thinking is required to resolve seemingly intractable management and technological issues which challenge interoperability in the AECO sector.

About me
Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sydney
Dr Robert Doe practised as a registered architect from 1990-2012 in the UK and Australia developing expertise in the design and production of social housing and gaining broad experience of other building types. Between 1999-2004 he was architect and director of the Forge Company, London, UK, which designed, supplied and erected prefabricated buildings. Between 2005-2014 he practised architecture in Brisbane with BVN Brisbane, GHD, Richard Kirk Architect and ThompsonAdsett and with his own company RD-Collab. From 1996-98 he studied part-time for a Master of Studies degree, Interdisciplinary Design for the Built Environment, University of Cambridge, UK. From 2014-2018, he completed a PhD candidature at the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning, The University of Sydney, NSW.
