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

(in 1998) on some of his design works.
