His recent award-winning projects include Allianz Stadium, the Sir John Monash Centre, the Australian Museum’s Project Discover (with NMN Architects), and the Sustainable Buildings Research Centre at the University of Wollongong. Joe is currently leading the design team for Riverside Theatres – a collaboration with 3XN Architects, Aileen Sage Architects, Turf Design Studio and Bangawarra.
Joe is a past New South Wales Chapter president of the Australian Institute of Architects and a current member of the New South Wales State Design Review Panel. As an advocate for gender equity, Joe co-initiated the Champions of Change program for the Institute, now a national initiative promoting equity in architecture.
