ARCHITECTURAL INTELLIGENCE presenter

DR Kirsty Volz of QUT will discuss the breadth of roles in the architectural profession and how we can use our skills as architects to influence design outcomes in the built environment.

DR KIRSTY VOLZ
QUT

Dr Kirsty Volz is an architect and Senior Lecturer in Architecture whose research bridges practice, community and climate adaptation. Her work focuses on housing and place‑based design guidance. Kirsty collaborates closely with practising architects to surface and translate tacit design knowledge—what practitioners know through doing—into rigorous research that can inform policy, procurement and everyday practice. Drawing on interviews, reflective practice and case‑based analysis, she communicates architects’ decision‑making processes as legible, comparable and teachable knowledge. She is a Chief Investigator on two ARC grants advancing architectural and built environment research.
