Our works integrate research and design practice to explore innovative design methods and approaches, to experiment on creative representational media, and to establish responsive and appropriate design practices that respond to current issues as well as project future possibilities.

The idea of interiority allows us to develop research programmes to enhance human health and well-being, focusing on emerging human-environment relationships and covering a wide range of spatial contexts, scales, and users.

The emphasis towards cultural and spatial practices enable us to address how space is produced in relation to society’s distinct way of doing, enabling micro and macro design approach rooted in society’s everyday life.

Our posthuman research and teaching practices decenters the anthropocentric perspectives of architecture; covering topics such as multispecies living practices, hybrid relations of architecture and machine, and architecture amidst climate crisis and brokenness.

Our teaching practice becomes a ground for experimenting with creative pedagogy to promote design thinking with creative and innovative approaches, from first year foundational design learning to postgraduate design research, while at the same time promoting awareness of ethical practice.

We offer supervision for doctoral study through research and design practice. The research themes are established in relation to the lab’s research and practice roadmap, including research to establish evidence for practice, research to uncover the unique aspects of community spatial practice, and research with creative approaches of inquiry (including creative mapping, creative survey, and various analytical approaches). We also offer practice-based research, where practice and making become an integral part of the research process, and the academic argument is built upon scholarly reflection toward the practice and the making processes. Completed practice-based research includes inquiry through traditional making to explore architectural materiality, the generative process of actual-virtual spaces, and exploration of representation through drawing practices.
