Oli studied at the University of Portsmouth and the Welsh School of Architecture at Cardiff University. At Cardiff he studied in the Local Adaptation unit under Gianni Botsford and Kate Darby. His thesis involved digitally scanning a single oak tree using LiDar technology to unlock the structural potential of the complex geometries of its branches. It hoped to challenge resource efficiency and create an adaptive architecture that is driven by environment and material. Alongside his thesis, Oli took part in the design and construction of an experimental and generative oak pavilion in the Wyre Forest. Professionally, he has experience on a range of typologies, including large mixed-use projects, historically significant buildings and private homes.
