Through research, DAB educates professionals who design, produce, manage and value the products, places and spaces of sustainable cities.

DAB research is orientated around:

• Managing economically and environmentally sustainable urban developments and communities
• Innovation in managing creative design and architecture
• Digital technologies in the design, production and creation of objects and spaces
• The history of the impact of design, architecture and the built environment on human communities

Our fundamental research strengths are the focus of our research centres, which provide collaborative specialist research in property, design, architecture and digital disciplines.

Research at DAB is uniquely supported by DABLab.
