Associate Professor Lindy Osborne Burton (PhD) was originally educated in South Africa but later moved to Australia where she commenced working at Cox Rayner Architects in Brisbane. Lindy quickly developed a specialisation in the design of complex public and institutional buildings—her architectural portfolio is extensive and includes over 70 building projects, ranging from the Princess Alexandra Hospital Redevelopment, through to the Southbank Education & Training Precinct.

Following 18 years of practice in architecture, where she registered as an architect and received 15 professional design awards, Lindy chose to pursue a full-time academic career. Now an Associate Professor in Architecture and the Design for Health program co-leader at Queensland University of Technology, Lindy is also currently appointed as a Visiting Associate Professor of Architecture at Taylor’s University, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
