Robert Doe

Robert Doe is a Lecturer in Architecture at the University of South Australia's UniSA Creative faculty. His research focuses on advancing offsite construction through improved interoperability standards, computational design integration, and modular prefabrication systems for the architecture, engineering, construction, and operations sector.

Doe investigates how object-based standards and open modular formats can enhance information sharing across the construction ecosystem. His work compares interoperability frameworks between construction and other industries like oil and gas, identifying transferable solutions for digital transformation. Recent publications examine ecosystem-level approaches to data exchange and systematic methods for improving information flow in offsite construction.

His computational design research develops tools facilitating the integration of prefabricated housing design with digital production workflows. This includes parametric optimization methods balancing multiple criteria like sustainability, cost-efficiency, and customization.

Doe applies theoretical frameworks from spatial theory to computational design processes, examining how digital tools reshape architectural practice and production.
