Jason McNamee
Jason is committed to genuine engagement with communities across regional Australia and inner city municipalities. He has extensive experience leading the design and delivery of several award-winning projects. We have always sought opportunities within the honest and everyday; transport interfaces and exchanges, the transitional spaces between home and school, coastal environments or the main street. Over years of consideration Jason has developed a practice and design response to places where unassuming inflections can create intrigue and provoke a reaction. We believe public space can do a lot more if convention is reconsidered. Through articulation of surfaces and configuring of habitable space we can encourage chance encounter, sharing and understanding. Given the layers of cultural expression and historical significance, public space has an accountability to the whole community; all ages, and all social conditions. Jason has a specific interest in edge conditions and positive, peripheral participation.
