The group has a strong interdisciplinary ethos that befits contemporary design practice and has experience in Design Strategy, Design and Making, Human Centred Design Processes, Retail and Spatial Architectures, Design for Exhibition, Environmentally Sensitive Design and Design Narratives, Technology, Service Design/Interaction and Product Design. Environmental Building
This research group focuses on the fields of building science, technology and construction management. Individual researchers also provide significant contributions in fields like construction law and sustainability literacy. The research encompasses a range of sub-topics, including thermography, laboratory and in-situ measurements of thermal and humidity properties of building materials, building performance simulation, off-site construction, low and zero carbon technologies.
