Research/Practice Interests

Roger Mullin’s research interests investigate the materiality and imperatives of buildings, infrastructures, and urban form, with a focus on coastal landscapes in the North Atlantic and areas of the Adriatic and Mediterranean Seas. This work is bracketed by concurrent research in methods of representation and design-build. Developments of these activities are carried forward through community partnerships, field-work, and writing.
