Dr Bruno Marques is the Associate Dean for Academic Development and Associate Professor in Landscape Architecture at Victoria University of Wellington, Faculty of Architecture and Design Innovation. His main research interests relate to the integration of Indigenous methods in participatory design and place-making in landscape rehabilitation and ecosystem services. His work is recognised for the implementation of community-based participatory design approaches and their connection to landscape design and planning. The research- and practice-based work involves collaborative interdisciplinary approaches (e.g. architecture, urban design, geography, industrial design, environmental psychology, physiotherapy) to objectively intervene in social, cultural and physical design outcomes. Bruno has been leading as principal investigator or as an associate investigator, in several grants (total value of over NZ$1 million) focusing on the health and wellbeing of communities, Mātauranga Māori and landscape rehabilitation. He is also the co-founder of the research lab ‘Therapeutic + Rehabilitative Designed Environments / Taiao + Tumahu’ (TRDE) with Jacqueline McIntosh. This multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional research lab focuses on the development of evidence-based research to show how buildings, landscapes and technology can support medical and health related practices. Bruno is the President of the International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA) (https://www.iflaworld.com/) (2022-2026).
