Overview
Background
Dr Kelly Greenop is an Associate Professor within the School of Architecture and is co-Director of the Architecture Culture Theory History (ATCH) Research Centres within the School. Her research has focused on work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in urban Brisbane, using ethnographic techniques to document the place experiences and attachment, and the importance of architecture, place, family and country for urban Indigenous people. She also conducts research into the intercultural place heritage of the Brisbane region, and the urban cultural history of Brisbane’s suburbs.
Kelly's latest research is in Digital Cultural Heritage, utilising 3D laser scanning of heritage environments and buildings in South East Queensland. She has been working with researchers from ATCH, School of Architecture, CSIRO and site managers at Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service to scan and archive fragile, remote and at risk sites, and research the use of scanning in architectural heritage practice.
With colleagues from AERC she has also conducted research into Aboriginal housing, particularly with respect to crowding and homelessness. Kelly’s research has been supported by grants from the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS), the Queensland Government, the Australian Federal Government and the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI).

Research impacts
Kelly's research has often focused on the implications of housing policy and management for Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This has been funded by the Federal Government and formed the basis of several policy bulletins for practitioners and policy makers.
Kelly has been invited to speak about her research at Te Whare Kura, the University of Auckland's Indigenous knowledge centre, and has collaborated with University of Auckland academics on both teaching and research to share an intercutural, international perspective.
In 2012 Kelly and Emily Juckes (UQ School of Architecture PhD student) collaborated with CSIRO to use their Zebedee 3D laser scanner to digitise a number of Queensland Parks and Wildlife managed heritage sites in Moreton Bay. This has resulted in new techniques for digitising and analysing cultural heritage sites that are large, remote or fragile, and a better understanding of cutting edge digital cultural heritage practices, potentials and challenges gained.
