Greg Corke

After studying civil engineering and architecture at the University of Leeds Greg Corke turned his back on 'real' engineering and has been writing about technology for architects, engineers and designers ever since. He is AEC Magazine's co-founder, managing editor and resident workstation specialist and is also a bit obsessed with travel, BBQ, cooking, beer and the (often painful) pastime of supporting Arsenal.
