One of the most influential figures in architectural education and practice today, Leon van Schaik , Professor of Architecture (Chair of Innovation) at RMIT in Melbourne, has dedicated the last two decades of his career to the promotion of local and international architectural culture through design practice research and the commissioning of building. Here he describes how he has nurtured a research‐oriented approach through his engagement with a network of ‘vital’ practitioners worldwide who are interested in strong ideas and pushing the questioning of the status quo.
