Biography
Patrick is Deputy Head of the School of Design and Reader in Interior Design at The Glasgow School of Art. He co-founded pop-up innovators Lapland, designed as Frozen River, and was an associate artist and designer for the award-winning theatre company Suspect Culture. He collaborates as SpaceKraft and has taught in China and Singapore.
Research Interests
His research interests are primarily focused on the nature, quality and value of the urban interior, in particular through its increasingly diverse means of expression and representation in post-crisis contexts.
PGR Supervision Interests
Urban interiors, in their nascent, active and vacant form.
Reuse of existing constructed form to catalyse sustainable development.
How spaces within cities might be represented as spectacular cultural phenomena and generators of impactful change.
Former PGR Students
Sondos Rawas, 'Negotiating Cultural, Social and Spatial Differences in Cross-Cultural Domestic Interiors: The Case of Saudi Women Migrants in Glasgow' (2021) Co-Supervisor
Teaching
I participate in the Studio course of the masters programme in Interior Design. This is principally through a close connection to my lead role in a research cluster focused on commercial vacancy in urban centres.
