The Department of Architecture reflects the multi and trans-disciplinary nature of architecture and urbanism, focussing on real-world problems. This includes the work of the Urban Design Studies Unit (UDSU), which is pioneering 'urban morphometrics', harnessing spatial data science, urban geo-data processing, and machine learning approaches to better understand cities, their form, functions and impact, with the ultimate goal of making them more resilient.
