Dan is a tutor in the atelier Some Kind of Nature at Manchester School of Architecture. Dan is also Architect Director of Office Renoso-Urmston, based in Manchester. Over the past few years, he has built an Essentialist Architectural practice working on projects across the UK that focus on the future of Architecture with a keen focus on the climate and biodiversity crisis.
Dan collaborates with a wide variety of professions and enjoys a unique network of ecologists, landscape architects, researchers, manufacturers and craftsmen. His early work and interests were in the convergence of art and architecture, working on pavilions and art installations which again show through in his latest work.
Currently, Dan is particularly interested in town centre regeneration, MMC and natural materials - all of which are prominent themes in his practice’s work.
