The Bartlett Morphology Group seeks to advance research and practice in Morphology concerned with the built environment.
Made up of teaching and research staff, honorary research fellows, research students and associate members, the Group will offer a lively environment for both post-graduate and post-doctoral research.
Morphology is a cross-disciplinary subject, taught, researched and practised across the faculty. The Bartlett has different/ distinct morphological traditions that are world leading however it is not certain if we are maximising potential synergies between the different approaches.
There is widespread agreement that we need to promote the excellence that we already have in this field better, explaining in the process how we engage with morphology across the Schools / Units of the Bartlett so that others can better understand what we do.
In the last decades Morphology has expanded greatly within a range of disciplines and specialisms in The School within a wide range of disciplines and specialisms –architecture, urban design, planning, spatial analysis, space syntax, history and heritage studies.Ìý
However research and interest groups tend to function in isolation from one another. We intend to rectify the lack of a common forum for researches and practitioners concerned with Morphology sharing ideas, methods and findings.
Therefore we propose to address the topic with different global outlooks; from design, physical science, social science, and critical humanities perspectives; from architectural, planning and real estate professional standpoints; as an analytical science and as a focus for cutting edge research and practice and research and practice-led teaching.
