His doctorate from 1975 was concerned with Maori architecture in New Zealand, which up until that time had not received serious architectural attention. He then extended his study area into other Pacific islands which has been the focus of his research interests since. During 1987 he was seconded as Head of the School of Architecture in Papua New Guinea. He wrote the Polynesian and Fijian section of the Encyclopedia of Vernacular Architecture of the World and he has been a regular presenter at SAHANZ conferences.
