Biography
Chantelle Niblock, MArch (specialism in CAAD), PhD, is a Lecturer in Architecture and Course Director of MArch Digital Architecture and Tectonics, which focuses on developing digitally driven design processes and practices, and innovative facade design. She is a member of the Architecture, Culture and Tectonics Research Group at The University of Nottingham. Her research and teaching interests include: architectural design thinking (pedagogy and practice), digital fabrication, prototyping in architecture, and cross-disciplinary design. She completed her PhD, sponsored by AHRC, at the Mackintosh School of Architecture, Glasgow. Her PhD investigated the influence of free-form modelling software on the architect's process of designing; it used a comparative protocol study between expert and novice architects.
Research Interest
Her current research involves the digitisation of pre-digital approaches to conceiving and making architectural prototypes, informing today's theory and education in architecture.
