The VUB Architectural Engineering Research Group brings together an interdisciplinary team of researchers and practitioners. Together, we apply engineering-based methods to the analysis and creation of beautiful architecture. Our research is driven by a strong commitment to developing and valorising knowledge that enables a high-quality and sustainable built environment.
While learning from the past, we tackle complex sustainability challenges through radical innovation in technologies, processes and our understanding of the built environment. Our living labs exemplify our commitment to learning with and for design, construction, real-estate and policy practice, and are a testament to our dynamic research agenda that evolves together with society.
