Carroll Go-Sam graduated in 1997 with a B. Arch (Hons) UQ and has research interests in Aboriginal architecture, public architecture, housing and identity themes drawing on professional experiences in rural townships in far-north QLD, the Northern Territory and south-east QLD. Three select key areas of architectural research include: Aboriginal architecture, Aboriginal housing management, policy, and design have occurred in the capacity as a researcher, educator, consultant and design practitioner
Carroll is the recipient of an ARC Discovery Indigenous Award (2014-2016) along with Professors Mark Moran, Paul Memmott and Jane Hunter. The project Defining the Impact of Regionalism on Aboriginal Housing and Settlement aims to analyse, quantify and improve our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander housing needs. It will develop a regional knowledge-base about needs assessment by creating an interactive mapping interface to sharpen focus on what is a blurred picture of the true extent of crowding, tenant demand, housing stock status and regional governance. By establishing a comprehensive knowledge-base through the development of innovative search, retrieval and visualisation services, the project will generate a single online data model integrating qualitative and quantitative data with text based publications. This knowledge-base will be compared against selected case studies from remote, rural and urban regions, in order to identify the most significant factors impacting on housing needs across different regions.
