Architecture research at the School of Architecture, Design and Planning brings design, science and the humanities together to shape the built environment.

Home to Australia's first Professor of Architecture (1918) and the world's first chair in architectural science (1953), we explore how buildings affect people, develop low-carbon systems with industry, design built environments, experiment with robotic construction and investigate the histories of architecture.

We collaborate with government, industry, health and cultural partners to address contemporary challenges in architecture and the built environment.
