Heritage and Humanities, Manchester Metropolitan University

Description

This group addresses the significant issues of the understanding, interpretation and reuse of the 
already constructed and intangible aspects of the built environment. Methods used by members of 
the group include practice-based and archival research, field work, critical analysis and inscriptive 
practices. Interdisciplinarity is fundamental to their approach, appreciating what architecture brings 
to collaborations as well as learning from others. This includes understanding under-represented 
histories, innovative approaches to theories, and the development of new methods. 

Thematic priorities:
• Adaptive Reuse: heritage, culture, sustainability and retrofit 
• Contemporary theories of architecture, the city, and spatiality. 
• Innovative cross-disciplinary collaborations expanding the scope of what architecture ‘is’ 
or ‘can be’. 
• Under-represented histories of architecture/ histories beyond the ‘canonical’ or 
conventional. 
• Developing new methods for architectural research.
