York School of Architecture leads creative and inventive research in human and social aspects of architecture, spatial practice, urban culture, post conflict cities and virtual architecture. From ancient cities and historic architecture to contemporary design and sustainable future, our research is challenge-led, impactful and global.
Our research nurtures original ideas and novel methodologies. It promotes community participation and empowers equality, diversity and inclusion as key ethos of good research. We link theory to practice and explain architecture through human actors, social networks and cultural practices.
