The main aim of Research Architecture Innovation Design (RAID) is to propel our division from being research active to a research intensive one. RAID aims to boost research and development within the division, and to enable increased collaboration with industry and other external research bodies, through measurable goals designed to involve segments of the wider society, the local authorities and others, in a series of innovative and commercially viable initiatives.
With particular focus on three different strands of thinking: social sciences, technology / engineering and arts, our research supports the development of liveable, productive, and sustainable cities, based on the user experience and underpinned by innovation in architectural design.
The undertaking of our group is to fortify design as a fundamental aspect of architecture in the 21st century city, with an aspiration to engender design in architecture through experimentation and pedagogy, and for our group to be recognised on an international level for its distinct approach to design methodologies.
With the RAID lab in place, the Architecture division is assured of not being left out of the current debates on new developments in technology and the application of those technologies in achieving a sustainable future..
