expertise
His university thesis on the linguistics of architecture focused on the creation of experiential spaces to enhance the understanding of metaphysical and abstract concepts in sacred architecture. His deep understanding of how human beings relate to, interact and understand their surroundings and man-made environment through experience, observation and natural reactions to certain building forms, symbols, gestures and ambiences is the core to the success of his designs. As a major part of his design philosophy for all building types, his language of universal experiential spaces have been applied to create a broad range of architectural spatial experiences.
He is a registered architect in Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland. Gerry has a broad range of experiences from retail design to high density apartment design and everything in between. His strong work ethic and commitment to his craft is exceptional.
