Negotiating Relations Between Museums and Intangible Cultural Heritage in China: New Museological Approaches to Old Traditions
Within the Eurocentric context museums have long been the default repositories for material culture focusing on display, documentary, education and storage. Read more
Advanced algorithms for 3D electrical tomography imaging of concrete
Repair and maintenance of existing concrete structures has become an urgent and critical problem in recent years. In the UK alone, about £50 billion/year is spent to preserve aging structures. Read more
Salt and Heritage: prediction and remediation of salt-induced damage to cultural heritage
Our shared cultural heritage comes in many forms and environments, not all of which are conducive to their long-term preservation. For example, salts… Read more
Airborne and long-range ground-based imaging and sensing for archaeology and architectural preservation
The application of drone-based imaging and sensing in the cultural heritage sector has been focused on two main aspects. the 3D digital documentation of historic buildings and archaeological sites, and the detection of archaeological features for the ‘revealing’ of palaces and cities buried under the ground. Read more
Learning From The Past Towards The Future: Evaluating The Design, Thermal Performance and Materials Characteristic of Heritage Buildings to Enhance Sustainable Developments
There are many lessons to be learnt from traditional heritage buildings on global level. Such lessons will help us to appreciate our global heritage and at the same time to transfer some of the knowledge in design and materials to our future buildings and urban developments. Read more
Design Standardization of 3D Concrete Printing for Unreinforced Low-Rise Buildings
Today, one of the construction industry's biggest challenges is the growing demand for affordable houses and functional cities during the pandemic and other disasters. Read more
Data-driven methods, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine learning (ML) for decarbonising energy and water use in buildings
It is well known that the Built Environment contributes around 40% of all carbon emissions globally, and that, of this, energy and water consumption make up a significant proportion. Read more
Improving building sustainability using Data Mining and Machine Learning technologies
Fast development and growth in the digital technologies have facilitated the emergence of internet-connected occupant wearing sensors and other similar sensory devices in the physical built environment. Read more
Big Data for Big Decisions – Application of Predictive Data Analytics for Front-end Decision-making in Transportation Megaprojects
The global investment in infrastructure megaprojects is at an all-time high. However, despite the availability of various cost and schedule estimating techniques, transportation megaprojects, in particular, are renowned for having significant delays and cost overruns. Read more
PhD Scholarships at Edinburgh College of Art – Art, Design, Architecture & Landscape Architecture, Music, History of Art
At Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) we’re looking for outstanding candidates to take up a number of generous PhD scholarships. We have a rich and vibrant postgraduate research community with a broad range of academic research interests. Read more
Assessment and implementation of circular economy in construction moving towards net zero and beyond
Resource constraints, competitiveness and environmental considerations are accelerating the shift towards a zero waste economy. The built environment (infrastructure and energy used in buildings) contributes around 45% of the UK’s total carbon emissions; with cement totalling 8% of the global total emissions. Read more
Healthy ageing, intersectionality and place
Research Group:
The Urban Institute
The UN has announced that 2021-30 is the decade of healthy ageing and the UK Government has identified the ageing population as one of its Grand Challenges, aiming to ensure that people can enjoy at least five extra healthy, independent years of life by 2035. Read more
Intersectionality, access and participation in urban environments
Research Group:
The Urban Institute
Intersectional frameworks are increasingly gaining recognition as essential for analysing the ways in which longstanding and deeply entrenched racialized and gendered inequalities operate to privilege or disadvantage some groups of people over others than approaches which only focus on a single dimension of inequality (e.g. Read more
QuakeCoRE funded PhD scholarship: Economic Impact of Functional Recovery Building Design
What is the research about?. The QuakeCoRE research program aims to investigate the economic benefits of implementing functional recovery design standards for new buildings. Read more
