Professor Nick Dunn is Chair of Architecture and Urbanism and Research Lead at the Manchester School of Architecture. Nick’s work examines the ways we think, envision and analyse the futures of people, places, and planet. His research has been funded by numerous research councils and government bodies. Nick is the founding Director of the Dark Design Lab, exploring the impacts of nocturnal activity on humans and non-humans. He is also an Ambassador for the Design Council and a Director of DarkSky UK. Nick has authored numerous books, journal articles, and commissioned reports. His expertise on cities, design, futures, health, and darkness have led to curated exhibitions and invited talks at public festivals and conferences around the world.
