Daniel Roehr - Visualizing Multisensory Site Perception

Assoc. Prof. Daniel Roehr teaches Landscape Architecture at the University of British Columbia.

This research is documented in his co-authored book Living Roofs in Integrated Urban Water Systems (Routledge 2015).

Since 2013 he has been exploring to visualize the complexity of LID with video animations, to make LID accessible and acceptable to the public. Daniel’s research also includes, how to teach multi-sensorial literacy and design, documented in his new book Multisensory Landscape Design: A Designers Guide for Seeing to be published in 2022 by Routledge. Daniel is also interested in the role of architectural hand drawing as a research tool to see and visualize the environment and to guide design iterations, see https://blogs.ubc.ca/drawingsdanielroehr/ and his recent blog https://blogs.ubc.ca/axonometric/.  He also posts his drawings on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/danielroehrdrawings/.  Daniel has practiced in Europe, North America & Asia.
