Design is in the soul of an architect. Besides his teaching, research and
administration commitments, Edward has been active in design and design
competitions. Most of the competitions he entered had a direct relationship
with his teaching and research interests and philosophy. For his design studio
teaching, Edward uses his design to conduct reverse review sessions with
students.?
A winning success is the design of 3 pairs of
Glass Doors for St Andrew Cathedral.? It is a direct result of Edward’s interest
in glass technology in teaching and in research. Using advanced Cast Glass
Technology - also used in the making of Hobbo Space Telescope - the design
attempts to fuse the relationship between traditional craft base techniques and
space age scientific methods, and the relationship between design and the
application of advanced technology. You may click on the thumbnail below to

design works.
