معرفی
Associate Professor Max Maxwell is affiliated with the University of Canberra's Department of Architecture, Design & Built Environment. His research focuses on computational design, robotic fabrication, and sustainable architectural solutions. He has led projects such as 'Museum Futures: Design and Architecture' (2024-2026) and 'Workplace Plasticity' (2021), exploring net-zero office spaces and material innovation. Maxwell's work bridges technology, craft, and environmental resilience, with a strong emphasis on adaptive design and material behavior. He has been invited to speak on topics like 'Nature's Lab: New Materials in Design' (2023) and participated in exhibitions such as the NGV Architecture Commission (2024).
His research interests include robotic fabrication techniques, bioclimatic housing systems, and the integration of computational tools into architectural practice. Notable outputs include studies on climate-resilient housing in Australia (2025) and material metabolism reduction strategies (2024). Maxwell collaborates extensively, co-authoring works with institutions like Supermanoeuvre and presenting at international forums. His projects often address urban challenges, such as retrofitting existing housing and reimagining public spaces through interactive installations.
Maxwell's professional activities include organizing conferences, delivering invited lectures, and serving on award panels. He actively supervises PhD students in computational design and robotic fabrication, contributing to the next generation of architectural innovators.
