After a month of the evaluation period, the final results for #mOOO2 architecture competition [POPS] LONDON is out! Join our public vote for a chance to win one of the three free copies of #mOOO2 publication.
We are happy to have urban design researcher and architecture studio tutor Nurulhusna joining our Jury Panel of #mOOO2 [POPS] LONDON!
Currently working as a lecturer in the COS Architecture at the Universiti Teknologi MARA since 2005. Nurulhusna began her teaching career in UiTM Perak in 2005 and moved to UiTM Shah Alam in 2008. With 11 years’ experience in the academic field at three campuses, Nurulhusna had significant exposure on many levels of Architectural Studies both at the Bachelors and Masters Degree level. Prior to pursuing her PhD Degree, she was entrusted to lead Urban Design Studio with fellow colleagues in which several collaborations with the local government were achieved such as Sepang Municipal Council for Cyberjaya Urban Design Guidelines and PKNS real estate for the rejuvenation of Shah Alam centre.
Apart from teaching, she is passionate about research in the field of urban design, related to community-based urban regeneration, and placemaking. Undertaking an ethnographic approach to her PhD fieldwork had allowed me to understand the practice of urban design in Malaysia while being attached to two local authorities and a place-based organization, especially in the area of participatory placemaking urban centres. She is registered as a graduate member of the Board of Architects (LAM number AG/N 327), and a member of newly formed Malaysian Urban Design Association (PEREKABANDAR).

Dr Chris French is Lecturer in Architecture and Contemporary Practice at the University of Edinburgh. He received his PhD Architecture by Design from the University of Edinburgh in 2015, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. His research follows two threads: an investigation into critical forms of representation in relation to the production of the political, architectural imaginary; and the relationship between architecture, and agricultural and urban landscapes. Central to both of these interests is design-research and design-practice. Chris has worked in architectural practice in Scotland and Spain, and is a co-founder and director of the Atelier for Architecture: at-018.studio and co-founder and editor of the architectural research by design e-journal DRAWING ON.
Dr Maria Mitsoula is a registered architect in the UK (ARB) and Greece (TEE/TCG), an architectural design tutor at the Universities of Edinburgh and Newcastle and an independent researcher. Maria received a Diploma in Architecture from NTUA, an MSc in Advanced Architectural Design and a PhD in Architecture by Design from the University of Edinburgh, funded by IPEP and Eugenides Foundation. Her interests are informed by: the relationships between geology, ecology, architecture and the city; the materiality of the architectural façade (opsis) and its construction as material image; and the architectural practices of travelling, surveying and logging. Maria is co-founder and editor of the architectural research by design e-journal DRAWING ON and co-founder and director of the Atelier for Architecture: at-018.studio.

mOOO team is honoured to have David Miller on board for our #mOOO2 competition!
David has worked at the highest levels of design in both the UK and abroad and is passionate about progressive architecture, emerging technology, design and delivery excellence. Before setting up the practice in 2000, he worked in the offices of Norman Foster and Santiago Calatrava, then became an Associate Director of Future Systems, where he was Project Architect for the Stirling Prize-winning Media Centre at Lord’s Cricket Ground – which DMA have recently refurbished and enhanced.
His specialist design knowledge and delivery of complex buildings evolved into an interest in three dimensional analysis and modelling. This led him to develop the use of 3D software to enhance building design and the architectural team use this technology to search out delight and proportion in solutions to every-day problems. Under David’s leadership, DMA is acknowledged as a leader in the use of digital techniques. He has worked with numerous industry bodies supporting and encouraging BIM adoption including the Government’s BIM Task Group prior to the 2016 mandate throughout the construction industry. As a highly regarded architect with a reputation for embracing innovative new technology, David is a sought after speaker both at home and abroad where he shares the practice’s experience of how BIM delivers excellence in the built environment.
