The Centre for Subtropical Design aims to ensure that growth and development in Brisbane and South East Queensland employs best practice design principles to support a strong and vital community with a unique sense of place that reflects our subtropical environment, our heritage and our vision for the future.
The Centre for Subtropical Design is located at QUT, Gardens Point, Brisbane, in the Faculty of Built Environment and Engineering.
Our role is to:
undertake research projects and student projects on subtropical design
produce publications, education tools and courses
communicate research outcomes to professional bodies, industry and the community through forums, workshops and seminars
encourage debate and discussion about subtropical sustainable planning and design in the wider Brisbane community
develop connections and collaborations with other universities, institutes and centres
We draw our expertise from a wide range of professions including architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, urban design, planning, surveying, construction management, humanities and environmental management.
