Associate Professor Sven Amid Mehzoud BA Arch, BDes, MDes, PhD

Head of School

School of Design

Sven has held teaching and research positions, and managed design programs for over 20 years, in New Zealand and Australia. His creative work lies at the intersection of exhibition, scenography, and interior architectural design. Recent work investigates how narratives are constructed in museum exhibitions representing the history of communities and their politics, and how narratives of underrepresented communities can be generated and communicated through performance based interpretation experiences. Works include commissioned or invited exhibition designs, curatorial projects, urban festival designs, and collaborations with councils and community groups. Publications include book chapters, exhibition catalogue contributions, journal research articles and conference contributions.
