Practice Based Research – Practice Research Symposium

The PRS lies at the heart of a longstanding HDR program that examines what designers actually do when they design, and seeks to develop new and innovative approaches to creative practice.

The School of Architecture and Urban Design stages six public PRS events every year in Australia, Asia and Europe. It is a gathering of research candidates, supervisors, and esteemed guests where the prime purpose is to be the tangible focus of a learning community – a home, so to speak – set up to facilitate collective learning.

Visit the Practice Research Portal for upcoming event dates, and to view an archive of images and videos from past PRS events.
