Academic career

After a BArch at Auckland in 1979 [2] and practising professionally, Brand did a post-professional master's of architecture in urban design at Harvard. [3] Returning to Auckland for a PhD, her 2001 doctoral thesis was titled Southern crossings: colonial urban design in Australia and New Zealand. [4] She subsequently entered academia, working at both Victoria University of Wellington [5] (rising to full professor in 2011 [6] ) and then back to the University of Auckland. [1]

Much of Brand's work concerns 'bluespace'—coastal urban design.

Brand is a member of both the New Zealand Institute of Architects and the Royal Australian Institute of Architects and has been involved with CERA, rebuilding Christchurch after the earthquakes. [1] She is also on the New Zealand Registered Architects Board. [7]
