Dr Damian Madigan is an architect, academic and housing researcher with particular expertise in models of alternative infill housing for established suburbs. A Senior Lecturer in Architecture at the University of South Australia and a member of the South Australian State Government’s Design Review Panel, his work encompasses the development of housing design and policy associated with low scale medium density infill – often referred to as the ‘Missing Middle’.

This work has been recognised through successes as an individual and as a collaborator in international open ideas competitions for alternative housing models.

Current work is focusing on the adaptability of older houses in Adelaide, Sydney and Osaka to help meet housing targets while retaining the character and cultural memory of neighbourhoods.
