This School is involved in a wide variety of research activities relating to all aspects of Architecture and the built environment. We undertake research projects commissioned by the central and local government, government agencies, the private sector and charitable bodies, as well as overseas agencies. Much of our engagement in research was rated of international standard in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise.  We have a wide range of interests: from architecture and globalisation, to the Olympics and city tourism, to city management, transport and sustainability. The School supports five subject groups which have developed an excellent track record in their chosen field and further details on each one are available by using the links on this page to the subject-based disciplines.  The School also attracts high quality research students who are supervised by experienced staff. Further information on the breadth of interests and range of topics being researched is available by accessing the research students link. Full details about how to apply can be accessed through the Applying for a Research Degree link on this page.

The School also has three research clusters which address inter-disciplinary issues and involve staff and researchers from all the Subject groups. The three clusters are:

• Global Identities
  
• London Research Cluster
  
• PrOBE - Centre for the Study of the Production of the Built Environment

The Research Support Network meets regularly and  provides an opportunity for academic staff and researchers to exchange information about their work and to develop new areas of expertise.

As School Research Director, it is my responsibility to co-ordinate all research activity in the School and to represent it at the University level, and externally.  Please follow the links for more information;  If I can be of assistance please contact me.
