Prioritising storage practices: A new approach to housing design thinking (2021)
Journal Article
Marco, E., Williams, K., & Oliveira, S. (2021). Prioritising storage practices: A new approach to housing design thinking. Interiority, 4(2), 223-248. https://doi.org/10.7454/in.v4i2.104

Inhabitants of UK housing have more possessions than ever, whilst space for living in standardised houses is at a premium. The acquisition of material possessions, and how it affects both space and inhabitants’ wellbeing, has not previously been cons...

The architectural model as augmenting a sensory ethnography (2021)
Journal Article
Marco, E., Sinnett, D., Oliveira, S., & Williams, K. (2021). The architectural model as augmenting a sensory ethnography. Design Journal, 24(6), 843-864. https://doi.org/10.1080/14606925.2021.1949237

This study explores the effectiveness of the architectural model as a means of implementing a sensory ethnographical research methodology. An architectural model, constructed as part of a wider design research approach, became the visual probe in a s... Read More about The architectural model as augmenting a sensory ethnography.

Stuff and space in the home: An understanding of material possessions to inform spatial storage design (2021)
Presentation / Conference
Marco, E., Williams, K., Oliveira, S., & Sinnett, D. (2021, April). Stuff and space in the home: An understanding of material possessions to inform spatial storage design. Paper presented at Housing Studies Association Annual Conference

In the field of architecture, there has been little research on how the accumulation of material possessions is impacting on space for living in the home. There has been little understanding of what households own, collect, store and dispose of, nor...

Transcending disciplines in architecture, structural and building services engineering: A new multidisciplinary educational approach (2021)
Journal Article
Oliveira, S., Olsen, L., Malki-Epshtein, L., Mumovic, D., & D'Ayala, D. (2022). Transcending disciplines in architecture, structural and building services engineering: A new multidisciplinary educational approach. International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 32, 1247–1265. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10798-020-09645-3

This paper reflects upon the mechanisms that enable development of curricular approaches to multidisciplinary architecture/engineering higher education. Building upon recent calls for integrated multidisciplinary building design practice, academics a...

Too much ‘stuff’ and the wrong space: A conceptual framework of material possessions (2020)
Journal Article
Marco, E., Williams, K., & Oliveira, S. (2020). Too much ‘stuff’ and the wrong space: A conceptual framework of material possessions. Interiority, 3(2), 219-242. https://doi.org/10.7454/in.v3i2.78

Space for living in new build houses in the UK is at premium and households have more stuff than ever before. The way this stuff is accommodated in dwellings can significantly affect residents’ quality of life and well-being. This paper presents a ne...

Considering institutional logics in building performance evaluation research (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Oliveira, S., & Baborska-Narożny, M. (2020). Considering institutional logics in building performance evaluation research. In L. C. Jain, A. Capozzoli, R. J. Howlett, & J. Littlewood (Eds.), Sustainability in Energy and Buildings, (701-710). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-32-9868-2_59

The purpose of this paper is to reflect upon potential analytical benefits of institutional theory in the study of building performance evaluation (BPE) practice. BPE studies have mostly been based on descriptive empirical insights with little concep... Read More about Considering institutional logics in building performance evaluation research.
