Flanagan Lawrence

Paul is an architect, a researcher and an academic; a Project Director at Flanagan Lawrence, and an Associate Professor at the Bartlett School of Architecture UCL, teaching on the Designing for Performance and Interaction course. Paul’s research sits at the intersection of professional practice and academic research, forming a reciprocally beneficial triumvirate of teaching, research and practice. The work is multidisciplinary and is based in relationships between sound, sensory architecture and acoustics. The research work builds on innovative practices using both traditional methodologies of acoustic research as well as biometric sensing, evolutionary computation and neural networks informing digital modelling processes. The outputs of this research has been exhibited in the UK at the Tate Modern, the Science Museum, IRCAM, RIBA, the Barbican, and internationally in Ars Electronica, Austria, Finland and Japan. In Practice Paul is currently leading the team on Eastbank Studios for the BBC which will deliver new facilities for the BBC Symphony Orchestra and BBC Rock & Pop.
