Research and Post-graduate Activities

Research activities within the school are both pure and applied with the greater emphasis on applied research. Post graduate students can pursue master degree awards by supervised research programmes. Currently a range of research activities are being carried out by various members of staff. One specific research area currently being undertaken jointly by five staff members involves the development of a new methodology for the teaching of architecture using electronic communication through interactive DC and the world wide web. This development in theoretical aspects of architectural education had its origins in part in an international Conference on Architectural Education hosted by the school in February, 2000.
