Our research work covers not only architectural conservation in its strictest sense but also a range of linked areas of built-environment studies.
These include:
- ‘Conservation’ in its widest sense, bridging the damaging gulf between ‘heritage’ and ‘new’ architecture
- Critical discussion of contemporary architecture - with particular reference to the market-led ‘iconic’ architecture of the last 10 years
- The history of Modern Movement (MoMo) architecture - especially the international history of mass housing and urban development
- The general architectural and built-environment history of Scotland
Our work as a research centre within the School of Architecture has so far focused on providing an institutional context for individual research outputs of excellence.
Future projects expand this remit to include a collaborative agenda where we will work in relation to organization, institutions and research councils in the development of research resources, archives and surveys pertaining to issue of conservation particular to the Scottish context.
