Architecture × Live experiences
I’m Scott, an architecture graduate with hands-on experience in live events and venue leadership. Based in Dubai, I’m looking to join an experiential team where I can help turn ambitious ideas into memorable experiences.
Have a place for someone who thinks creatively and gets stuck in? Let’s talk.

Live event · Mt Buller · 2026
Venue-side delivery for M87 × Red Bull Winter Vibes at Spurs, bringing around 600 guests to a live music activation in a remote alpine setting.
Research · Generative AI · 2023–24
Generative AI research at RMIT, developing datasets, training models and exploring image-to-3D workflows that informed a sandstone and sound installation.
Master’s thesis · Design & AI · 2024
Who is the author when AI becomes part of the design process? A thesis exploring human and machine collaboration through new interventions in the fire escapes of SoHo, New York.
Architecture × Live events
Architecture taught me how ideas take shape.
Venues taught me how they get delivered.
Selected architecture studies
I’m Scott, an architecture graduate from New Zealand, now based in Dubai. My background brings together creative research, live events and the practical demands of running busy venues.
At RMIT, I explored how AI can support architectural design while making the human decisions behind the work visible. In hospitality, I led teams, coordinated suppliers and managed the details that shape a guest’s experience. At Mt Buller, those responsibilities extended to venue-side delivery for Buller Open-Air, an M87 × Red Bull activation for around 600 guests.
I’m now looking to bring that combination into an experiential agency, supporting clients and creative teams as ideas move from a brief into a live experience.
I’m based in Dubai and open to opportunities in client servicing, project coordination and production coordination. If my background could be useful to your team, I’d love to connect.

Design proposal · RMIT · Semester 1, 2024
Reusing a building as a source of material and space.
This proposal reimagines a redundant concrete office building at 60 Collins Street through selective extraction rather than demolition. Cuts follow the path of the sun, opening an internal landscape of light and exposed material, and the marks left by extraction become part of the architecture.

Design proposal · RMIT · Semester 2, 2023
Designing shared living on a constrained urban site.
A multi-residential proposal on Royal Parade, Parkville, making better use of a constrained urban site while supporting everyday liveability. A close study of the one-bedroom unit shaped the layout, and shared amenities give residents places to come together while keeping their homes private.

Design proposal · RMIT · Semester 1, 2023
Combining computational modelling with AI-assisted exploration.
Over fourteen weeks, the project combined scripted geometry, digital sculpting and AI imagery. Grasshopper set the form, Blender and ZBrush built the surface detail, Houdini generated the glazing, and Midjourney informed mood and texture through each iteration.

Design proposal · VUW · Semester 2, 2022
An archive shaped by light, protection and public access.
A National Archives building for Wellington that balances protecting sensitive collections with a welcoming public institution. Filtered, reflected and diffused daylight organises the spaces, while concrete walls, folded slabs and vertical cores drawn from Russian Constructivism separate storage, circulation and public use.
