, the Royal Institute of British Architects

The centre was established as a five-year project, developed to enhance learning and teaching in design through research that brings together resources and expertise from Higher Education and collections-based partners.
Its objectives included the advance of understanding,practice-based learning, interdisciplinarity in design education, student voice and student-centred approaches to learning, use and application of collections.
