About Tom

Tom is a multi-disciplinary designer and is trained in Architecture from the UK. Since graduating from the University of Westminster he has been at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he is working as a Research and Business Manager within the Senseable City Lab with Professor Carlo Ratti. His current research is exploring the intersection of technology, people and physical space. He has also spent time working in Beijing, China with Buro Ole Scheeren and in London with Foster & Partners.

He graduated with distinction in a Master of Architecture in 2017 from the University of Westminster where his design thesis took an urban system approach that aimed to restore the Pallikaranai Wetland in Chennai, India, considered to be an ecological system, using algal blooms. The project researches how to design with and for material within the cyclical system of its birth, growth and death. Integral to this is the design and implementation of a series of instruments deployed in the Pallikaranai Marsh, which will transform it into a responsive landscape, healing itself over time. The design thesis has been published globally.

He has also spent time working in three practices: First, in Beijing working for Buro Ole Scheeren where he worked on a series of international competitions ranging from a headquarters in Berlin to an urban design proposal in the Olympic Park in London. Second, with Foster + Partners, where he worked with Narinder Sagoo to develop narratives by using different media to conceptualise early-stage proposals. While there, he helped design and develop the Droneport project based in Rwanda, Africa [Times Invention of The Year 2016]. Third, with GRUNER + FRIENDS to develop new tools using AI and Machine Learning to generate new proposals using various contextual parameters.

About the lesson

My teaching method varies on each class and the aims of the students. The overall method that I try to convey is enjoyment and engagement. You and I are both here to learn, and I feel strongly that learning should not be stressful. However, I will still push the students to achieve above and beyond, making radical proposals and decisions that can take them to the top of their respective field.

With my teaching experience at MIT and at the University of Westminster, I have taught various cultures and backgrounds, and levels of experience, and I am confident I can help you achieve your goals.
