Richard Black

Associate Professor Richard Black is affiliated with the School of Architecture and Urban Design at RMIT University in Australia. His academic work bridges architecture with ecological systems through innovative design approaches.

• Research Focus: Intersections of architecture, landscape systems, and ecological integration
• Design Themes: Biophilic soundwalls, digital twins for material reuse, and performative inhabitation
• Geographic Contexts: Melbourne's collective housing, Macau's urban spaces, and Hong Kong-inspired parallel works

His recent publications (2012-2025) explore topics spanning ephemeral architecture, circular economy applications, and site-specific design strategies. Key trends include integrating environmental systems into architectural practice and developing frameworks for migratory design approaches.

Supervision Availability: Open to Masters Research or PhD student supervision, particularly focusing on:

• Site knowledge application in design
• Ecological system interactions
• Strategic siting methodologies
