Architectural History and Theory Group
The work of the Architectural History and Theory Group embraces a wide range of interests, as reflected in its research projects, publications, and other activities.
The variety of members’ research is linked together through an interest in understanding the histories and theories of architecture including its practice, making and education within the situated realities of its cultures and contexts.
Research
The group aims to augment the impact of its research on society, education and practice through conferences, exhibitions, design, pedagogy, funded research and editorships.
