Creative practice research
Led by Prof Hélène Frichot, supervision of doctoral students engaged in creative practice research at the faculty is grounded in our internationally recognised expertise. Design-led experimentation is complemented by creative and critical design theories and methodologies.
A spectrum of interdisciplinary design and creative projects are supported. This includes design, architecture, and heritage, landscape architecture and urban design, placemaking and Indigenous knowledges, digital design and fabrication technologies.
Industry research
Led by Prof Christhina Candido, we support projects that aim to address urgent challenges observed in society. This pathway is suitable for PhD projects that have a formal partnership with a partner through implementation of funded research and/or a placement.
These partnerships intend to advance knowledge in academia and practise through ambitious applied research frameworks that focus on the design, performance and experience of the built environment through its various scales and agents.
