Work

Ord was an architect by training. Her interests were primarily in planning issues and environmental sustainability.[4] This interest is evident during her time at architecture school where her Carlton terrace-house was "the central driving force" behind the Association of Architecture Schools of Australasia student conference in 1964.[5]
