I lead research at the intersection of global construction systems and space architecture, examining how innovation emerges through networks of materials, technologies, and human collaboration. As Director of the Centre for Asian and Middle Eastern Architecture (CAMEA) and Head of Lunar Architecture at the Andy Thomas Centre for Space Resources (ATCSR), I connect the history of transnational construction systems with the future of human habitation in deep space. My work explores how materiality and agency operate in resource-constrained environments — from South–South technical cooperation networks in the Indian Ocean Rim to human–robot collaboration for Lunar Habitats. By bringing historical insight about construction systems into dialogue with space-sector innovation, I develop new approaches to resilient and adaptive design systems that can operate across geopolitical and planetary boundaries.
