Research at the Department of Architecture
Our department carries out research into architecture and cities as structural, technological and artistic manifestations of society, characterised by history and culture. Engineering expertise is used to develop visions of the future for – and with – society by utilising design and planning methodologies and insights gained in the humanities. Building culture is thus not only the result of sustainable design but rather the requirement for the sustainability of our constructed environment in the future.
