About the author

Linda Matthews is the Co-director of the UTS Visualisation Institute and a Senior Lecturer in the School of Architecture at the University of Technology, Sydney. Her research interests draw upon the history, politics and techniques of representation to explore new architectural and urban design methodologies that utilise the optics of digital visioning systems. The research aims to use virtual urban spaces as a source of qualitative and quantitative data to generate non-traditional modes of architectural and urban form. Linda has won several significant academic awards, including the prestigious Design Medal from the NSW Chapter of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects and the University Medal from the University of Technology, Sydney.
