A graduate of the University of Marne la Vallée, France and a postgraduate at the University of Salford where he studied architectural acoustics, Eric was part of the Specialist Modelling Group at Foster + Partners where he pioneered research and simulation on all acoustics aspects.

With a focus on simulation systems to convey acoustic principles, he has a keen interest in understanding the acoustic effects of architectural geometry and materials on audiences in performance venues.
Eric’s consultancy work with Charcoalblue includes the exciting new Waikato Regional Theatre in Hamilton, New Zealand and St Edward’s School in Oxford.
What qualities should a 'great performance space' have?
A performance space should simply produce a relationship between performers and audience where both feel deeply immersed. Visually and orally the space should bring the performers and audience together.
