Born in 1971, he has founded in Brisbane the design practice James Russell Architects, composed by architect, students, landscape architect and engineers. We use building as a tool for investigating and developing our knowledge of a material and the way we put it together. We make fittings for most of our projects and in some instances build the whole project. For us architecture is not all behind a desk, we practice two to three days a week and build the rest of the time. We explore architecture through making. Our hands will always get dirty and unresolved details are discussed and drawn before making. Working here is like an apprenticeship.
