Professor Graham Farmer

Graham  Director of Architecture in the School of Architecture, Planning & Landscape and is a qualified architect with a background in architectural practice where he contributed to several award winning buildings. Graham's research and teaching explores the social production of the built environment with an emphasis on understanding how the built environment is socially sustained. He has published widely on the social dimensions of sustainability and has developed an approach which connects a concern for environmental innovation and building performance with an understanding of development processes, occupation and inhabitation. Graham is interested in the ethics of sustainability and in particular how environmental values relate to the specifics of place and the pragmatics of practice.
