Biography/History:

Laura Hourston Hanks is Associate Professor in the Department of Architecture and Built Environment at the University of Nottingham, where she teaches across the Department and is a member of the Architecture, Culture and Tectonics Research Group. She graduated in Architecture from the University of Liverpool in 1995 and gained her doctorate in Architectural History and Theory from the University of Edinburgh in 2002. Laura's research interests coalesce around contemporary museum and exhibition design, and her key publications in this field include the monograph Museum Builders II (2004), the co-edited volume Museum Making: Narratives, Architectures, Exhibitions (Macleod, Hanks and Hale, 2012), and chapters in Architecture and the Canadian Fabric (Hourston Hanks, 2011), and The Future of Museum and Gallery Design (2018). Laura's related research extends into the architectural expression of identities, issues of narrative space and place making, and collaborative digital heritage projects such as the recent creation of a VR experience and AR-enabled app of Lincoln Cathedral (Queen's University Belfast, Hot Knife Digital Media).
