Casual Teaching KGA520: Qualitative Research Methods

For more than 15 years Miranda has taught, researched, and practiced in the transdisciplinary nexus of design, science, and art. Subjects:
Antarctic Culture, Space and Materiality, Architectural and Interior Design, Spatial Analysis and Research, Visual Communication, Human inhabitation of extreme environments.

Teaching expertise
In the Netherlands Miranda lectured courses on architectural analysis, supervised design studios, and developed workshops at ArtEZ Institute of the Arts, Arnhem, Technical University Delft, Eindhoven University of Technology and the Architecture Academy in Rotterdam. She was an invited critic for student presentations in Cluj, Romania and Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland.

As senior Lecturer in Architecture at Windesheim University in Zwolle, Miranda coordinated and lectured design studios in Architecture, Urban and Interior design, architectural analysis courses and history courses at first, second and third year levels. She supervised award winning graduation projects at Bachelor and Master levels. Since 2016, Miranda has been teaching design studios at UTAS the School of Architecture. In 2019, she organised the interdisciplinary workshop ‘Antarctica and Architecture’ in collaboration with IMAS and University of Sydney. In 2020, she developed and tutored the research design studio ‘With/In Antarctic Extremes’ at UTAS School of Architecture and Design. From 2020 till 2022 Miranda developed and led research design studios for the University of Melbourne, Monash University, and RMIT University.

Research Supervision
Miranda has supervised a wide range of Bachelor and Master graduation projects in Architecture, Interior and Urban Design to successful completion. Various supervised projects were nominated for and received institutional and national student awards. In general the topics of the graduation projects (among others) have their focus on inhabitation of extreme conditions – such as the Antarctic, the Arctic, the African desert, flooding areas, post-industrial derelict regions, and high density urban environments. She is examiner at ArtEZ Institute of the Arts in Arnhem, The Netherlands.

Miranda is especially interested in supervising students with interdisciplinary projects which are located at the intersection of extreme environment studies (e.g. Antarctica, Artic, space), sciences, humanities, and architecture. She also is keen to co-supervise as a member of interdisciplinary supervisory panels or teams.
