Anna O'Gorman Architect

Becoming registered as an architect in Queensland in 2008 Anna has worked with some of Australia’s major award winning architects including Donovan Hill Architects, Richard Kirk Architect, Shane Thompson Architects and Kieron Gait Architects.

Over the last 7 years Anna has regularly been invited to teach architectural design at The University of Queensland, where she found passion for design theory that examines the connection between buildings and their places. Community and landscape has been an ongoing stimulus throughout Anna's university and practice design work, and became the key concept in a recent collaborative design competition at Shane Thompson Architects for the UQ pedestrian bridge. Visits to exemplary architecture by Peter Stutchbury and Richard Leplastrier during the Total Immersion Summer School inspired her interest further in buildings that relate to their landscape.
“Architecture arouses sentiments in man. The architect’s task therefore, is to make those sentiments more precise.”
— Adolf Loos
