Architects and the designers of our surroundings are the driving force behind the design of our built environment. Whether they are designing new buildings, giving a new lease of life to existing ones, developing urban spaces and landscapes, or determining the energy use and resilience to a changing climate, architects have a profound influence on our lives. The Kent School of Architecture and Planning (KSAP) offers full-time and part-time research programmes, leading to a PhD. The School promotes innovative and interdisciplinary research, which focuses on four main areas: - Sustainability, biodiversity and climate change
- Urban design and planning
- Architectural conservation and heritage
- History, theory and philosophy of architecture.
