Overview
Paul Cureton is a Senior Lecturer in Design Software Skills and Innovation at the University of Hertfordshire. He is a landscape architect and studying his landscape chartership and BIM certification. He holds a PhD in Landscape Architecture from Manchester School of Architecture and MA in Cultural Theory and Policy from the University of Warwick.
Paul is currently conducting research into representation of landscapes including the application of digital fabrication methods. Current projects include 3D modelling and visualization of HS2LV (High Speed Rail 2 Landscape Vision). Additional work includes articles on the representation of landscape in UK New Towns. Paul is currently working on a proposal for a single authored text in Landscape Representation. Paul also works in landscape practice with Groundwork and is shortly chartered.
