Joseph(Joe) has an MSc in conservation architecture from the Manchester School of Architecture. His thesis focussed on looking at the adaptive reuse of derelict farms in the North of England. Joe has a particular interest in building conservation looking at how buildings of historical interest can be repurposed appropriately to preserve them for the future.
Joe is a keen traveller having backpacked around South East Asia, visiting, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Other places he has travelled to are China and Africa. When in Africa, he worked on a building project, constructing classrooms for a school in Mwanza, Tanzania. After completing the building work, he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. In the summer of 2022 he completed the West Highland Way, walking over 100 miles in 8 days in the Scottish Highlands raising money for Maggie’s Cancer Centres.
Alongside architecture Joe is an accomplished photographer, doing a mix of headshot, portraiture, architectural and landscape photography. He works in both digital and film cameras.
During Joe's first expedition in 2023 he documented and photographed the group, the research projects and the landscape, working on both the environmental pollution and pingo projects as an enthusiastic and willing citizen scientist. In Longyearbyen, Joe also captured lots of information around the architecture and construction of the buildings.
