Throughout his career Roger has continually engaged with the fields of both contemporary architecture and heritage management. In doing so, he has acquired detailed expertise in traditional and contemporary building technologies, allowing him to develop authentic and sustainable remedial conservation interventions.
Through his exposure to international debate on conservation practice via AusHeritage (Australia’s Export Network for Cultural Heritage Services), of which he is Deputy Chair, Roger has also developed a keen grasp of evolving conservation management practice in a broad context, particularly the Asia Pacific region.
Roger is a Registered Architect and an Associate of the Australian Institute of Architects (AIA) where he has served as a Member and Jury Chair for the AIA Awards, as well as being a past recipient of the AIA John George Knight Award for Heritage Architecture on multiple occasions.
Roger is also a long-standing member of The Society of Architectural Historians of Australia and New Zealand, The National Trust of Australia and Australia ICOMOS and has served for several years on the Cultural Heritage Academic Advisory Board at Deakin University, where he currently lectures.
