Bruce Edward WatsonDirector of Interior Architecture B.Arch(USYD); B.Sc(Arch), BFA COFA (UNSW) |
Bruce Watson was appointed Direct of Interior Architecture in 2013. Bruce's background is Interior, Contemporary Art and Architecture. His approach to studio teaching is centred on "conceptual change-student focused learning". The processes associated with this type of teaching and learning function at a foundation level of design processes and principles. Student learning then becomes crafted around changing practices within the students hardwiring, thinking and approach rather than about simply applying knowledge - transformation rather than application. Bruce began his design career designing and exhibiting intimate objects with relationships to the human body. Beyond that career and study of Contemporary Art Bruce studied and practiced Architecture. Bruce was the Design Director of his Sydney Design practice. His interests in the relationship between object design and the manner we inhabit and engage in the world of architecture and design developed into a love of Interior Architecture/Design. Bruce was appointed to the position of lecturer at UNSW Australia in 2002 and has maintained his practice as a designer working in the fields of Interior Architecture/Design/Architecture. Bruce brings an industry related focus and a rigor of learning and teaching research to the design studio and lecture setting of UNSW. Design thinking and making are paramount to Bruce's formation of Design Studio actives. |
