Creating a healthier and resilient world
Our vision is to deliver applied design research and concepts that are grounded in achieving healthy, sustainable, adaptive, and resilient outcomes for the future. We leverage impactful research in our four core research domains of Biophilia & Wellbeing, Regeneration & Sustainability, Ecology & Environment, and Society & Culture to make this vision a reality.
Deliver impact
Our research has multiple sustainable, environmental, social, cultural, economic and health benefits for our research partners, organisations, and larger communities. We leverage our expertise in key research areas embedded in the Integral Design Framework to deliver impactful outcomes, enabling a sustainable and resilient future.
