“By creating we think, by living we learn” Patrick Geddes
Welcome to the School of the Environment Research web pages. The main focii of our research are the three disciplines located within the school: Architecture, Geography and Town and Regional Planning. Staff in the school participate nationally and internationally in shaping research agendas in these disciplines, but have also been privileged to lead interdisciplinary research institutes within the University. We would be delighted to hear from students interested in undertaking research degrees in the school , or from scholars in other institutions wishing to learn more about our research.
