Ross Brewin

Ross Brewin is a registered architect and a senior lecturer in the MADA Department of Architecture which he helped establish in 2008.

Over his years at Monash, Ross has been involved in design teaching across all levels of the course. From 2008 to 2013, Ross led the Foundation program for which he was awarded a Government Office of Learning and Teaching Citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning. Following this period, he was the Master of Architecture course director, guiding a program that in 2022 was successfully accredited for the full 5-year period by the national architecture course accreditation body (AACA). Ross currently leads the Design Make education stream, in which students undertake ‘live’ design and fabrication projects in and for particular communities.

Ross is a member of the Monash Urban Lab, a research laboratory based in the Department of Architecture where he contributes to the ‘Better Life at Home’ research stream focused on holistic approaches to the adaptable and accessible domestic environments.

Ross is also a practicing architect, co-directing Gilby Brewin Architecture, a practice that has won numerous industry awards including the 2023 John Lee Archer Triennial Prize in the Australian Institute of Architects Tasmanian Chapter Awards. Work from the practice is regularly published in industry journals and has been included in two recent Australian pavilions at the Venice Biennale.

Ross seeks the productive overlapping of teaching, research and practice, regularly leading live design studio projects with architecture students that interface with active research and practice projects.
