Matthew David Bird (1980) is an experimental architect and lecturer from Melbourne, Australia. He is a non-traditional architect with experimental architecture projects manifesting as interior decoration, set-design, sculpture, installation art and land art. He is well-known for his guerilla-style installations, notably Alphaomega Apartment (2008) where he theatrically transformed a tiny rental apartment unbeknown to the owners.[1] Bird studied architecture at RMIT University in Melbourne where he graduated in 2005.[2] He commenced his career under the mentorship by Australia's controversial 'wonder-kid' architect Cassandra Fahey helping realise a number of her award-winning projects including New Gold Mountain and The Smith Great Aussie Home.[3]
