Overview
Our goal is to construct a web of shared scholarly ambitions that begin at the School of Architecture, but do not end there. We strive to use our focus on the constructed environment as a way to connect, bridge, or unite existing disciplines.
Features
- Toward this, our Constructed Environment program at the University of Virginia provides a space in which to gather up new modes, media, and models that cross disciplinary and methodological boundaries and combine theoretical and practical knowledge.
- We support research that mixes methods from the natural, social, and data sciences with those stemming from the humanities and design disciplines, including quantitative and qualitative analyses and methods.
Programme Structure
Research
- We have identified four strains by which we study the constructed environment. Each of these strains encompasses a broad research terrain. They are intended to characterize the breadth of constructed environment research in the School of Architecture. Faculty dissertation advisors are listed within their associated research strains.
