Our research is carried out within the Manchester Architecture Research Group (MARG).
We are particularly interested in:
- ecological and landscape design
- the conservation and management of historic environments
- urban design and development.
We draw upon a wide range of interdisciplinary research interests through our ongoing collaboration with Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU). We also have research links to discipline areas such as:
- archaeology
- art history
- popular culture
- structural engineering.
The opportunities we provide for collaborative architectural research are unparalleled, and research bids in a variety of disciplines are strengthened by the involvement of our researchers.
