Through experimentation and open-ended research into the social, environmental and economic workings of urban societies, DAB researchers are at the forefront of enhancing academic and professional knowledge of our three key disciplines.

Coming from a traditional approach centred on the history and theories of architecture, design, planning policy and property economics, research at DAB now has new strengths in digital media research and the history of critical theory. Please visit our DAB research section for more information.

DAB has established a number of active research clusters to further grow our research output, and to encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration.

Research at DAB is uniquely supported by DAB Lab.
