Terri Peters

Terri Peters is an architect, writer and researcher whose work maps new trajectories of ecological design through contemporary practice, academic research and pop culture.  She has a global perspective, having lived and worked in Vancouver, Tokyo, Paris, and then London, UK which was her adopted home for eight years. Since 2009 she has been based in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Her practice investigates and reflects on contemporary culture through a study of architecture from multiple angles.  She has degrees in architectural history and architecture and has written more than 200 articles for magazines and journals.  Her building reviews, interviews with designers and editorials appear in Mark, Azure, Architects Journal, Metropolis, Architectural Design and other publications. She is a registered architect in the UK and Denmark and has worked professionally as an architect at both small and large offices in London, UK.   Her work at multi-disciplinary design office Building Design Partnership was focused on an ambitious £650m sustainable master-plan for Kingston, South London.  This project is a quality benchmark for London’s suburban development, and her work focused on producing studies for social housing, offices, retail, a new library and improved pedestrian and cycle links. 

Currently a PhD Researcher, her project explores radical strategies of reuse, ecology and inhabitation defining new methodologies for the design of sustainable buildings and cities through building renovation. She is the editor two recent books:  Experimental Green Strategies: Redefining Ecological Design Research, John Wiley & Sons Chichester, UK, November 2011,  and Inside Smartgeometry: Expanding the Architectural Possibilities of Computational Design, John Wiley & Sons, Chichester, UK, March 2013 .
