Biography
Gavin Perin is a lecturer in the School of Architecture at the University of Technology, Sydney. Having completed his Bachelor of Architecture degree at the University of Canberra, he is currently completing a design based research Masters of Architecture Degree at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. He is also co-director and founding member of the Centre for Digital Design at UTS which is engaged in theoretical and practice based research that explores the evolving frontiers of digital design.

Professional
Co-director and founding member of the Centre for Digital Design (CDD).
The CDD offers a unique opportunity for researchers and industry partners to engage with a multidisciplinary team of national and international designers, architects, creative practitioners, theorists and technology experts. CDD unites disciplines such as visual communication, graphic design, video, and architecture, to address a spectrum of research and design issues.

Teaching areas
Undergraduate:
Architectural Design
Architectural Communications

Research interests
The main research interest is the role of representation in architecture and the generative and instrumental affect of the forms of representation on design practice and its artefacts.
This work is being developed within the CDD, which is engaged in theoretical and practice based research that explores the evolving frontiers of digital design with the aim to develop new and innovative ways digital media can be used to design immersive dynamic information systems that function in physical and virtual environments.
