Dr Lee Stickells is a lecturer in the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning at the University of Sydney. He teaches and researches across the areas of urban architecture and urban design. He is also an editor of Architectural Theory Review.
Prior to joining the University of Sydney in 2008 he was a senior lecturer, and Programme Leader of the MA Urban Design, at The University of the West of England in Bristol. He has been an invited critic at The University of Strathclyde and Technical University of Eindhoven, as well as a sessional staff member at the University of Western Australia, and Curtin University of Technology. Before becoming a full-time academic he gathered a range of professional experience in urban design and architecture – working predominantly in Australia and Asia.
His research ranges across a number of fields and topics but is linked by an interest in the relationship between architecture and the city – particularly focused on shifting conceptions of architecture’s urban role, meaning and affect.
He received a Bachelor of Architecture (1998) and PhD (2005) from the University of Western Australia.
