Centre for Urban and Built Ecologies

Description

The Centre for Urban and Built Ecologies brings together architects, urbanists, artists and designers with collective research interests in environmental, social and cultural ecologies of cities. The Centre for Urban and Built Ecologies investigates relations between spatial contexts, social dynamics and sustainable urban environments, adopting methods of analysis that build upon the critical approaches to the history, theory and practice of architecture. These develop modes of understanding that are responsive to the complexity, slipperiness and interdisciplinary nature of urbanity today. Research draws upon a wide range of themes, topics and issues that emerge through productive exchanges between architecture and urban design, critical ecological studies in the visual arts, and architectural hermeneutics. The Centre for Urban and Built Ecologies provides a creative and intellectual platform for cultivating dialogues between historical, philosophical and critical perspectives on the city.
