Mr Alexander Nicholas Georgouras

Deeply interested in how cities can be globally resilient yet intrinsically local; Alex is an urban designer and Registered Landscape Architect (AILA) who has endeavored to work extensively abroad. Such diverse professional experience has exposed him to a multitude of project types; from the mega-infrastructure currently dominating the Sydney urban landscape, to disaster recovery initiatives in New Orleans, allowing him to grapple with design at multiple scales and across cultures.

Alex is currently a sessional academic within the Faculty of the Built Environment, UNSW. He has served as course convenor within the BeOutThere! Interdisciplinary elective (B.Arch, B.IndDes, B.Planning, and B. Larch). A member of Green Roofs Australasia, Alex is a strong advocate for living architecture, green roofs, and urban agriculture.

If Alex could combine them all he would.
