Terry Meade

Terry Meade is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Arch, Tech and Eng, University of Brighton, affiliated with the Centre for Arts and Wellbeing and the Experimental Design Practices Research Excellence Group. His research explores the politics of spatial design, focusing on colonialism's impact on domestic spaces, particularly in contexts like Israel/Palestine. He investigates how colonial conflicts manifest in domestic environments through narratives and drawing, addressing issues like home invasion, displacement, and security barriers. His teaching philosophy emphasizes student autonomy, creativity beyond linear processes, and interdisciplinary collaboration. He actively challenges passive learning, fostering critical engagement with the external world.

Research interests include spatial narratives, security's influence on domestic architecture, and the intersections of art, engineering, and politics. His work bridges theoretical exploration and practical design education, with publications on topics such as interiority's political dimensions and the pedagogy of design education. Collaborations with experts across disciplines enrich his approach to teaching and research.
