Our Research Questions
How can our understanding of design excellence be broadened, beyond a current focus on form and aesthetics, to also encompass inclusion, sustainability and health?
How can we reconsider and redesign our spaces, places, buildings and neighborhoods to respond to our new broader and more equitable definitions and understanding of quality in the built environment?
How can design contribute to strengthening and advancing inclusion, improve public health, and secure a more sustainable future in Calgary communities?
