James Davidson

James Davidson is the founder and Principal of JDA Co. James holds a Doctorate in Architecture (UQ), is a former Director of Emergency Architects Australia, and a Winston Churchill Fellow. With over 20 years of experience in architectural practice and property development, he also served as a research academic at the University of Queensland for almost 15 years.

His architectural approach is deeply rooted in the belief that the discipline is inherently an empirical anthropology, where architecture’s creation is intimately linked to social processes and material context.
