Author Information

Sally J. Faulder is an architectural researcher who examines the process through which sociocultural values are inscribed in the built environment and reproduced in the lived experience of those who inhabit that environment. Her research draws on the thought and varying approaches to the production of knowledge of architecture, hermeneutic philosophy, and anthropology. Sally completed a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Anthropology at National University of Ireland, Maynooth, and later a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture at the University of Westminster. After spending some time in practice, Sally then obtained her PhD in Architecture from Queen’s University, Belfast.
