Urbis: Can you tell us a bit about your professional background?
Phil Redmond (PR):I studied architecture at RMIT university in Melbourne. I returned to Christchurch in 2008 to work with Thom Craig who had just established his practice. In 2010, I left the practice and was weighing up returning to Melbourne to do my PhD or setting up my own practice. I had the opportunity to do a few interesting projects here and decided on that route. A few months later, Canterbury’s earthquakes began. I would still like to do my PhD at some stage.
