Research
Our IDRL research fosters inter-/trans-disciplinary collaborations experimenting with new material cultures, technological innovations, health and wellbeing, and net-zero design. With an interdisciplinary approach, we work with experts in diverse backgrounds including architecture, engineering, biology, computer science, geographic science, public health, and psychology. Our research projects strive to go beyond R&D within the lab and translate the latest innovations into practical applications for tangible impacts. We share our research advancement and knowledge with a wider audience through workshops, lectures, conferences, peer-reviewed publications, technology demonstrations, and lab visits.
