{{ :rob-annable.jpg?nolink&100|}}I'm an architect based in the West Midlands, UK. I live with my family in a self-build labour of love called [[home4self]] - a slightly idiosyncratic experiment in architecture, construction and materials that won a few awards, although the neighbours probably still don't know what to make of it. You can contact me via rob@annable.co.uk or find me in the usual places, such as [[https://twitter.com/eversion|twitter]] and [[https://www.instagram.com/robannable/|instagram]]. [[Public Bio]] __**[[architecture + teaching]]**__ At [[https://axisdesignarchitects.com/|Axis Design Architects]] we specialise in homes and community-based projects and have played a role in improving social housing, public consultation and environmental design in the region since the 1980s. As a visiting tutor to the Birmingham School of Architecture, I have taught across the undergraduate and postgraduate program and I'm currently assisting with Level 4 and 6 design studios. __**[[research|research + interests]]**__ I grew up during the birth of the Personal Computer, the launch of the Space Shuttle and creation of the WWW so my personal interests outside architecture tend to have a science, technology and computing bias. I'm currently engaged in reading and discussion around the space industry, interested in particular in the future of space habitation, closed-loop systems and materials science. __**[[bonus content++]]**__ Plus some other stuff.
