Christopher Procter’s principle research interest is the development of green design, particularly its aesthetics. The engineer/inventor or the lay enthusiast produced much early sustainable work. He is interested in how sustainable technology is evolving and how architects integrate it into their larger aesthetic concerns.

A parallel area of interest is new structures with an emphasis on timber. Truss-based systems, gridshells and structural insulated panels all have been part of his practice and student live-build projects.
