Thomas has rich experience as a practicing architect

supporting students, understanding that architecture
is a social process based on mutual understanding,
collaboration, cultural awareness, respect and
empathy. From 2009 onwards, Thomas had an
increasing commitment at Newcastle University’s
School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape. In
2012, he joined INTO, developing and leading the
architecture programme.

he completed an undergraduate degree in Music
(University of Leeds), andanMA inMusic Composition
(Birmingham Conservatoire, UCE), and worked as a
musician and composer. His current teaching context
leads him to explore possible overlaps between sound
and architecture. Both inside and outside work, Jonny
is interested in the symbiotic relationship between
creativity and effort.
