The Built Environment is a register of human occupation over time.

Architecture and Landscape are richly interconnected, and encompass aspects which are intellectual and embodied. In this richly living context, we value our location in the Kingston School of Art, closely related to the Department of Architecture and Landscape.

Appropriate to our context, but unusual in this setting, we do not confine our role to one form of research over another. We seek to be of value to proto-practitioners at undergraduate level as well as to those conducting substantive research at postgraduate and senior researcher level.

Register acts as a conduit, and as a platform to incubate, develop and disseminate this work. We organise talks, seminars and conferences. We talk with and explore those advancing our discipline about their lived experience. We publish specific research which might be of lasting value. We support PhD research by practice and through writing methodologies as well as hybrid approaches.

The theme that governs the work of our group is that of ‘Architecture and its Languages’.
