Biography

Tutor at Glasgow School of Art since 2001 at undergraduate and postgraduate level, currently teaching in Stage 5.
Outwith teaching, Nick is Iceni Project’s Built Heritage and Townscape Director in Scotland. He has a passion for making our cities more sustainable and more enjoyable to live in, whilst tackling inequalities within our built environment, the spaces between our buildings and the infrastructure that makes our cities function.

As an Architect, Nick has led several multi award-winning, large scale urban regeneration and masterplanning projects, which set out to repair and regenerate the urban fabric at a city scale. Many of these projects dealt with heritage assets and complex townscape settings, and required a wide and detailed understanding of context, character, and place.

In October 2014 Nick presented a paper discussing masterplan proposals for The Seven Lochs Wetland Park and the need to incorporate Community Growth Areas for thousands of new homes, at the Constructed Environment Conference in Philadelphia.
