Antony Moulis

Antony Moulis is Associate Professor in the School of Architecture, Design and Planning at the University of Queensland, where he teaches and researches across the fields of architecture, urbanism and design. His current research focuses on productive cities and urban retrofit as drivers of positive community change, as featured in the jointly-authored book House, Precinct, Territory: Design Strategies for the Productive City (ORO, 2023) which addresses urban innovation and adaptation in the Asia-Pacific. He is internationally recognised for his work on architectural design practice and patterns of global knowledge transfer. Recent books include the co-authored John Andrews: Architect of Uncommon Sense (Harvard University Press, 2023), which investigates strategies of ecological design in the international context; the sole-authored Le Corbusier in the Antipodes: Art, Architecture and Urbanism (Routledge, 2021) a first account of the modern architect’s reception, encounters and global networks in Australasia, and the co-edited 4-volume anthology, Le Corbusier: Critical Concepts in Architecture (Routledge, 2018), a detailed historiographic survey of writings on, and by, the architect from 1920 to the present. Moulis' research through design involves active collaboration with industry and architectural and urban practices. Co-designed built and speculative projects highlighting micro-urban and resilience strategies for contemporary cities have been awarded, exhibited and published internationally including through journals such as Architecture Australia, The Architectural Review, and GA Houses: the recent books The New Queensland House (Thames & Hudson, 2022) and 33 Documents of Contemporary Australian Architecture (URO, 2022); and exhibited at 2021 Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism. Moulis oversaw UQ Architecture's participation in the Water Sensitive Cities CRC – a national team of academics and designers developing strategies for urban intensification and green infrastructure. His architectural writing and research spans professional and academic journals, including critical commentary on contemporary architecture.
