The people whose work anchors the CCAE modules: guest speakers, external examiners of ideas, and the researchers whose frameworks the studios read from. Each profile was built for the session that invited them.
These pages used to sit inside whichever module folder first needed them, which made them hard to find and easy to duplicate. They were gathered here on 20 August 2026, and the old addresses still work.
The territory the studios map, and the instruments for mapping it.
Co-author of Terra Forma, the manual of speculative maps that gives the Critical Zone a drawing practice. Her instruments run through the geogame work and the AIARG 2026 studio.
Reads a building as a thermodynamic process tracked in energy, matter and time. The EMERGY strand and the Lagrangian reading in the studios come from his work.
Material ethics, forest cycles and the alliance the work sits inside.
Coordinator of the New European Bauhaus Academy Alliance, chair of COST Action FP1407, and president of SWST in 2020 to 2021. Guest speaker on AT6012.
Community-centred regenerative design, and co-leader of Building Change. New European Bauhaus Prize 2023 and a UCD Teaching Excellence Award in 2022.
Runs sustainable infrastructure projects through EU funding instruments, which is the machinery that turns a New European Bauhaus proposal into a delivered thing.
What the standards ask for, what the physics allows, and the gap between them.
Energy systems research on the grid side of the building envelope, feeding the retrofit and energy-standards work.
Reviving Buildings: Why Part M Alone Won't Do. The argument that accessibility compliance and universal design are different targets, delivered into AT6031.
How evidence reaches a decision, and what stops it.
Health Impact Assessment and policy development, on how HIA gets embedded in policy-making to reach structural health inequalities across the island of Ireland.
The disciplines the architecture studio has to argue with.
Internet of Things and smart systems, on what a sensed building actually knows about itself.
Open innovation and AI fluency, and the question of what a person keeps hold of when the machine does part of the thinking.
Migration, mobilities and global inequality, read through social and political theory and contemporary art. The reason the studio cannot treat a city as a purely technical object.
Eleven people, gathered from six module folders on 20 August 2026. Every previous address redirects here, so old links and old slide decks keep working.
The wider mentor pool for community-engaged research sits on the ENGAGE platform at engage.curricula.dev/Mentors. Cork Centre for Architectural Education, University College Cork.
