Professor Ramage joins MSA from the University of Cambridge, where he has been a member of the Department of Architecture since 2006, serving most recently as Professor of Architecture and Engineering, founding Director of the Centre for Natural Material Innovation, and Fellow of Sidney Sussex College. His research programme spans the full range of natural and bio-based building materials, from timber, bamboo, and hemp to earthen masonry, and from materials science to the scale of buildings and neighbourhoods.
At MSA, he will bring that same commitment to research-led teaching into the School’s studio and technologies curriculum, working with students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
We are delighted to welcome Professor Michael Ramage to Manchester School of Architecture. Michael’s track record in research, built practice, and international leadership is exceptional, and his appointment represents a significant strengthening of MSA’s research profile in sustainable construction and natural materials. His work bridges materials science, engineering, and architecture in a way that is genuinely rare, and we look forward to the new research programme he will develop here and the contribution he will make to our students, our doctoral community, and to the field.
