Convener: Tania Sharmin is a Visiting research scholar and Fung Global Fellow at Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies, Princeton University. She is a Senior Lecturer (US: Associate Professor) in sustainable environmental design in architecture at the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University. She completed her Ph.D. at University of Cambridge as a fellow of Schlumberger Foundation Faculty for the Future award. Her doctorate investigated the impact of urban form and microclimate on outdoor thermal comfort and building energy performance for the tropical climate of Dhaka. Sharmin is conducting research in the interdisciplinary field of microclimate, comfort, and heat health for tackling urban warming and sustaining health in urban spaces of megacities using advanced remote sensing and machine learning techniques.
Speaker 1: Juliet Davis is Professor of Architecture and Urbanism and Head of School at the Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University. Her teaching and research span the fields of Architecture, Urban Design and City Planning History/theory. She is the author of two books and numerous publications in these areas. Juliet completed an AHRC-funded PhD at the London School of Economics’ Cities Programme in 2011 focussed on critically exploring the role of urban design in shaping the trajectories of long-term regeneration in East London connected to the 2012 Olympic Games. She practiced architecture and urban design in London for ten years in London before entering academia in 2007, contributing to Eric Parry Architects’ regeneration of St. Martin in the Fields amongst other projects. She studied Architecture at Cambridge University, graduating with a First-class degree in the BA in Architecture in 1995, the Edward S. Prior Prize for design excellence, and with a Commendation for the Diploma in Architecture (Part II) in 1999.
Speaker 2: Dr Noguchi is a Chartered Engineer, Environmentalist, and Technological Product Designer registered respectively with the Engineering Council, Society for the Environment, and the Institution of Engineering Designers in the UK. In 2002, he also became a member of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada and today, he serves as a Certified Passive House Designer registered with the Passive House Institute in Germany. Dr Noguchi is the founding coordinator of ZEMCH Network (www.zemch.org) which consists of over 900 partners from over 40 countries and developed a series of industry-academia knowledge transfer events. ZEMCH international conferences (from 2012), ZEMCH sustainable design workshops (from 2014) and ZEMCH technical missions (from 2006) are amongst the projects being organized by ZEMCH Network today in partnership with the regional expert centers based currently in Australia, Brazil, Italy, Korea, UAE and UK. At the Melbourne School of Design, he spearheads ZEMCH (Zero Energy Mass Custom Home) related courses. Before coming to Melbourne, he was a Reader at the Mackintosh School of Architecture, The Glasgow School of Art, where he established a ZEMCH pathway within the Master of Architectural Studies program. Dr Noguchi leads ZEMCH engineering design research for the delivery of socially, economically, environmentally and humanly sustainable built environments in global contexts. Inventing a "mass custom design" system approach to quality affordable housing, he developed a digitalized interactive mass custom design communication tool, which was demonstrated in the US Department of Energy Solar Decathlon's Canadian house 2005. In 2006, he designed Canada's first (near) net zero energy modular home "EcoTerra house" - built and commercialized through the federal government's EQuilibrium sustainable housing initiative/competition in 2007. Moreover, Dr Noguchi turned his "mass custom design" system into reality through the Donside Urban Village development in Aberdeen, Scotland, and he also contributed to a low-cost prefabricated mass housing projects in Brazil. Serving as the editorial board member of numerous journals, Dr Noguchi is frequently invited to deliver keynote lectures on ZEMCH R&D projects at national and international conferences stressing the need for EXD methodological research and practice in built environments for the energy efficiency and affordability as well as the occupants' physical and mental health and wellbeing.
