| Management | ||
| 听inter-relationships between design, culture and the evolution of technology and science parallels between Indigenous knowledge and worldviews and the origins of Western science as they related to听Climate Change and environmental crises. | ||
| 听historical analysis and 听futuristic visions that center on the shaping of the built environment around water, technology, infrastructural systems, and competing ideas of health and balance. | ||
| 听immersive materials research and innovative design for manufacturing and assembly (DfMA) processes, including work in concrete and lime, cellulose, historic pigments and construction systems that participate in a circular economy. | ||
| 听community design informed by Architecture, Engineering, and Indigenous Planning Principles. Research focus is on resiliency, which includes social, political, environmental, and economic aspects associated with the internal migration and/or forced displacement of indigenous communities (deemed a type of 鈥榙omestic鈥� diaspora). | ||
| 听address architecture鈥檚 role in the hydrocarbon world-systems of modernity in search of new paradigms, narratives, and real adaptations for collective and carbon-less approaches to architecture and urbanization. | ||
| 听Sustainable Heritage Conservation and adaptive reuse, balancing cultural and natural heritage, integrating environmental construction techniques, social and economic practices. | ||
| 听relationships between social and environmental injustice and contemporary issues such as climate change, mental health and social isolation, places in conflict, critical heritage studies, spatial and urban segregation, representation of complex identities, and design for protest and cultural resistance, among others. | ||
| 听Design for Manufacturing and Assembly, Circular Economy / Affordable Housing, Loneliness, Affordable Housing. Considering how the built听environment impacts loneliness, isolation, and social interaction. Transforming the notion of affordable housing from a place to sleep into a mindset in which all are entitled to quality shelter. | ||
| 听agency of landscape and ecological urbanism, alongside speculative futures and what has been called 鈥榤ore-than human鈥� agency.听interdisciplinary research that brings together concepts from critical urban theory, human geography, international development, landscape architecture, and architectural design. | ||
| 听making visible ways in which buildings and landscapes materially alter, impact, and construct new environments in light of climate breakdown; working听with complex material systems at scale by designing, prototyping, and photographing environmental models–mostly of air, but shifting to soil/earth and other regenerative building materials. | ||
| 听relationship between heritage and waste;听sustainable heritage conservation; Waste, deconstruction and heritage values; Environmental history/sustainable conservation of wood in modern architecture; Traditional environmental design and appropriate technologies. | ||
| 听politically contested terrains and infrastructure through the entanglements of architecture, landscape, cultural geographies, and geo-imaginaries. | ||
| 听Historic buildings digitalization, adaptive reuse of historic buildings, climate adaptation of historic buildings | ||
