Professor Helen Lochhead is an Australian architect, urbanist and Dean of the Faculty of Built Environment at UNSW Sydney.[1] She is also the 2019 President of the Australian Institute of Architects.[2][3]
Lochhead is an architect and urban designer with over 20 years of senior management and project delivery experience in both private and public sectors in Australia and the United States. Her career has focused on the inception, planning, design and delivery of complex large-scale urban projects.
In 2013 Lochhead was awarded the prestigious Marion Mahony Griffin Prize by the NSW Chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects. The citation states that Lochhead 'has worked tirelessly to achieve design excellence in the public sector working on architectural, urban design and landscape design projects. Through her role on committees, design review panels and competition juries, and from within local council and state government agencies, she has worked determinedly, managing to extricate herself from procedural inertia and the daily difficulties of working in a bureaucracy to make design quality and sustainability important considerations in major capital works projects. Prior to accepting a secondment as the director of strategic developments at Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority (SHFA), Helen championed the promotion of women architects within the GAO, and has played an important role in mentoring graduates. She has taught at three of Sydney's universities and was an adjunct professor at the University of Sydney, prior to her current appointment.[5]
Lochhead had won numerous awards for her contributions to the profession, and was a 2013–14 Lincoln/Loeb Fellow at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University and the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. During her fellowship she studied design, policy, and governance strategies that can deliver more sustainable climate-resilient coastal cities.[6]
