Data and Value

• Complex Adaptive Systems and Rule-Based Design

  This project will foster collaborations between interdisciplinary research teams at The University of Melbourne and The University of Campinas in the general fields of architecture, urban design and computational modelling.

• Cross-cultural analysis and capacity building in construction management

  Practices focusing on housing and infrastructure sectors in Assam and Australia – An initiative of ‘Smart Villages” research

• Development and trial of a low-carbon living co-benefits calculator

  The aim of this project is to develop and trial a prototype low-carbon precinct co-benefits calculator for use by urban planners and designers.

• Effects of feedback and incentive-based insurance on driving behaviours

  The broader funded project is the first experimental study to examine the extent to which direct-feedback and incentive-based insurance modify a driver's behaviour.

• Intelligent Estimator

  Leveraging on Artificial Intelligence Technology for Effective Forecasting and Management of the Cost of Building Services Elements at the Design stage of Building Projects

  Future Scenarios for Transit-Oriented Urban Design

• Mapping embodied environmental impacts in the built environment

  Cities and their building stocks result in significant environmental effects which are critical to reduce.

• Mapping Melbourne's Peri-Urban Agricultural Land

  Protecting land around Melbourne for food production.

• Nested Phoenix: a multi-scale model for life cycle environmental performance in the built environment

  This projects aims to develop one of the most advanced computer models to measure and improve life cycle environmental performance in the built-environment, across its scales, from construction materials, to cities.

• PedCatch

  Topographical accessibility modelling for people with mobility impairments

• Renewable energy for carbon neutral cities

• The effect of anticipatory modification on design

  Evaluating housing adaptation grant programs for people with disabilities as drivers of innovation.

• Tourism development and local resilience: self-organisation and community empowerment perspectives

  How can tourism development affect community resilience to natural hazards in different self-organisation and regulatory contexts? How should policy-making address these relationships?

• Wildfire Disaster Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Recovery in Coastal Tourist Destinations: the case of Wye River, Australia

  From a regional resilience perspective, what were the outcomes of prevention, preparedness, response and recovery strategies in place for the 2015 Wye River wildfires? How does tourism help shape these?
