Paul Carter is an interdisciplinary scholar whose books The Road to Botany Bay (1987) and The Lie of the Land (1996) established his international reputation as a pioneer of 'spatial history' and place-making. In addition, he has made an internationally-recognised contribution to the methodology of public space design in a number of leading papers and in a book, Material Thinking: Collaborative Realisation and the Art of Self-Becoming (2004). Paul also has a unique record of achievement as an artist working in the public sphere. Three prestigious public space design/public art commissions (Relay (1998-2000), Nearamnew (1999-2003) and Tracks (2000-2003)) have attracted international attention.
