Academic career edit

After a BArch at Auckland in 1979[2] and practising professionally, Brand did a post-professional master's of architecture in urban design at Harvard.[3] Returning to Auckland for a PhD, her 2001 doctoral thesis was titled Southern crossings: colonial urban design in Australia and New Zealand.[4] She subsequently entered academia, working at both Victoria University of Wellington[5] (rising to full professor in 2011[6]) and then back to the University of Auckland.[1]

Much of Brand's work concerns 'bluespace'—coastal urban design.

Brand is a member of both the New Zealand Institute of Architects and the Royal Australian Institute of Architects and has been involved with CERA, rebuilding Christchurch after the earthquakes.[1] She is also on the New Zealand Registered Architects Board.[7]
