Brett leads Populous’ design teams across South East Asia and Japan, designing large-scale venues that draw people together in the places they love to be. Staring his career in Australia and moving to Asia in his early 20s, he is passionate about using architecture and design to solve complex social, economic and transport related problems facing many of the region’s heavily populated and growing cities. He completed the upgrading and extension of Singapore’s beloved Changi Airport Terminal 1, a 180 stage, five year project designed and constructed over a live operating Terminal. He has also played a significant role as Project Principal on the Kansai International Airport Super Renovation in Osaka. His other recent major venue projects include The Venetian and Londoner Arenas in Macau, Las Vegas Sands Arena in Singapore and Kai Tak Sports Park in Hong Kong. Travel and exploration are at the heart of Brett’s design philosophy. By engaging, living in and adapting to local cultures and traditions, he is able to design spaces that are regionally authentic whilst fulfilling the commercial aspirations of international stakeholders.
