Life

Pomeroy studied at the Canterbury School of Architecture, took a master's degree at the University of Cambridge, and a PhD from the University of Westminster.[11]

He teaches at James Cook University, at the Università Iuav di Venezia in Italy, and at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom.[11]

Projects

Pomeroy designed an energy-efficient house for Sime Darby Property in Malaysia, with electricity generated by solar panels and rainwater collected from the roof. This project, the Idea House, was partly based on the traditional Malay kampong, and was built in 2010.[4][1]

Another ecologically-designed house was built in Bukit Timah, in Singapore. This "B House" drew on the architecture of colonial-era black-and-white bungalows. It used the same principles of solar power and water management as the Idea House, and was designed to remain cool without air-conditioning.[1][5][12][13] In 2014 the design received a Green Mark Platinum rating from the Building and Construction Authority.[1]

Television appearances

Pomeroy presented City Time Traveller, an architecture travel series, for Channel NewsAsia in 2014 and 2015.[14][15] Also in 2015, he presented City Redesign, a four-part documentary on the architecture of Singapore, for the same channel.[16] His eight-part series on smart cities, Smart Cities 2.0, was shown in 2017.[9][17]

Publications

Pomeroy has written three books:

  • Idea House: Future Tropical Living Today (ORO Editions, 2011),[18][9]
  • The Skycourt and skygarden: greening the urban habitat (Routledge, 2014) [14]
  • Pod Off-Grid: Explorations Into Low-Energy Waterborne Communities (2016) [19][20]
