About
Our research is concerned with the means through which people experience and are informed about urban heritage in graphic form; the meanings people associate with graphic form in cultural heritage contexts; and the measures through which the impact of graphic heritage is understood and assessed.
We have established a network of international collaboration between academic researchers and practitioners in Australia, Brazil, China, Italy, South Africa, Sweden, The Netherlands, and the UK.
Project partners on funded projects have included the Nelson Mandela Foundation, UNESCO-UK, Bradford UNESCO City of Film, Shanghai UNESCO City of Design, The David Roche Foundation, and Casa dell’Architettura.
Projects are invariably multidisciplinary, involving perspectives from, for example, architecture, archival practice, graphic design, geography, heritage, planning, and urban design.
We also support research training through PhD study and have supervised and examined more than a dozen PhD projects with a notable graphic heritage focus.
