Society today, and increasingly in the future, requires an integrated built environment in which buildings and infrastructure work together to support our evolving ways of life and increasing urbanisation in a sustainable way. This requires the multitude of built environment professions to be adept at forming multi-disciplinary project teams that combine their expertise to provide sustainable solutions to the increasingly complex challenges of tomorrow.

The projects during our cross-School design week range from concept and feasibility studies through to the design, construction and maintenance of buildings, urban spaces and infrastructure. These are devised to give you insights into the skills students from other courses acquire and how these complement your own. They also provide an introduction to and understanding of the complex, interacting technical, economic, social and environmental factors that are at play in any major construction project, as well as an appreciation of crucial practical concerns such as risk management, project management, and transport.
