Research at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment

Six societal themes provide direction

Major societal issues, such as climate change, the growing shortage of raw materials and increasing urban inequality, make it necessary to give new direction to the design and organisation of our living environment to keep the world liveable and habitable. This necessity places the research of the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at TU Delft at the heart of the search for answers to the major challenges of today and the future.
