Dr. Marc Aurel Schnabel is an Architect and Senior Lecturer in Digital Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture, Design & Planning, The University of Sydney. He is leading research and education in the field of Digital Media in Architectural Design. As President of CAADRIA, the international Association for Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia, he is affiliated with various professional- and scientific committees, amongst them IJAC, FEDIAD and the Advances in Architectural Geometry. Marc Aurel Schnabel taught and worked in Germany and Hong Kong for over fifteen years, since then he is highly recognized for his work in the areas ofVirtual Environments and Design Learning. In Sydney he is engaged in Mixed Reality Design within the Data Modelling Research Network, d_city, Parametric Design Learning and interprofessional development programmes (Public Health). He publishes extensively in international journals about novel perspectives in digital architecture and the communication of three-dimensional space using innovative design methods. He recently curated two digital architectural exhibitions, Disparallel Spaces at Tin Sheds- and 8448cubed at Gaffa Galleries. He is currently establishing the Digital Architecture Research Alliance – DARA – that bring together researchers who push the boundaries of current digital spatial design.
