Architecture, Design and the Built Environment
Our research is dynamic and imaginative and provides a vital cornerstone in the activities and life of the School. We have an active and outward looking research culture, with a strong focus on exploring the synergies between designed objects and the environment, and the methods, engineering and materials of their production.
Our staff and postgraduate researchers undertake original investigations to develop systems, solutions and designs that contribute to enhancing our understanding of the built environment and objects within it.
A significant strand of activity is focused on the development of construction materials and energy systems that respond to the need for a responsible and sustainable use of energy resources.
Our work is of direct relevance to the needs and developments of society, industry and commerce across the globe, and is supported by income from a range of bodies, including the EPSRC, the EU, and other national charities and public service agencies in the East Midlands and beyond.
