Dr Niek Turner

School of Natural and Built Environment

I am a fully qualified architect with an ongoing academic interest in exploring the ever developing relationship between architecture, technology and media. This has led to previous architectural research into a range of subjects, including contemporary electronic music, alchemy and design. More recently my doctoral thesis expanded this theme through the use of computer visualization techniques to explore how Soviet Avant-Garde film director, and one-time architecture student, Sergei Eisenstein manipulated space in his early silent films.
