Building Technology and Digital Ecologies
The Building Technologies and Digital Ecologies research area aims to create new knowledge in architecture and building construction materials, systems, technologies, and processes, enhancing both built and natural environments, as well as our daily lives. Students are prepared for careers in research, teaching, and specialized fields, advancing theoretical, methodological and practical knowledge in design and construction disciplines within an increasingly digital, networked and environmentally vulnerable world. Students leverage the expertise of doctoral faculty, graduate programs in the School of Architecture and related academic programs across campus, including engineering, computer science and construction sciences.
