Biography
Associate Professor Kate Tregloan leads the Built Environment Learning + Teaching (BEL+T) group at the Faculty of Architecture Building and Planning, University of Melbourne. Kate focuses on design education and its contributions to interdisciplinary impact, the built environment, and addressing community need. She is a registered Architect, and has developed architecture and interdisciplinary projects in NSW, Tasmania and Victoria, and has led cross-faculty and cross-institutional programs as an academic and researcher.
Kate is most interested in the decisions and values that influence creative work, and how digital tools can support learning and making in education as well as in practice. She has long-standing research interests in the design and evaluation of supported housing for people with disability, and brings innovative approaches to research collaborations and this complex challenge. Examples include the internationally award-winning RIPL POE built and technology design evaluation framework and panoramas (2015); and MyHomeSpace, a VR gamespace to inform supported housing design for people with disability through the NDIS (2018).
