PhD (UNSW), MBEnv. (Sust. Dev.) (UNSW), B.Arch. (1st Class Honours) (UNSA)
​
Dr Carlos Bartesaghi Koc is a Lecturer in Landscape Architecture at the School of Architecture and Built Environment (SABE), University of Adelaide. Before, he completed his PhD in Planning and Urban Development (UNSW) in 2018, where he analysed the thermal performance of green infrastructure on urban microclimate using remote sensing, spatial econometrics and predictive modelling methods. His research received the inaugural Dean's Award for Outstanding PhD theses in 2019.
​
He transitioned into academia at UNSW in 2015 as sessional lecturer before starting his post-doctoral research fellowship in 2018. Afterwards, Carlos became lecturer in Architecture (Environment) at Deakin University in 2019. Over the last 13 years he has combined teaching and research positions, consultancy activities and practice-based design in Australia, Peru and Chile.
​
As an architect, urban designer and climatologist, Carlos is interested in analysing the spatial and temporal dynamics and interactions that occur in the built environment by applying a 'systems thinking' approach. In particular, he focuses on performance-based analysis of cities, neighbourhoods, urban precints, streets and buildings from ecological and holistic point of views. His second research focus is on climate-sensitive and generative+responsive design supported by computational and sensing technologies such as AI, machine learning, IoT and smart sensors.
