Urban Acupuncture for Community Forge
Carnegie Mellon Architecture's research centers have a rich and venerable history of leading the architecture discipline in research excellence in sustainable, computational, and urban design.
Our faculty members combine their deep expertise in architectural subdisciplines (the "vertical" dimension) with broad, collaborative interconnectedness across campus and the globe (the "horizontal" dimension). Our research groups push the boundaries of architecture, forge connections beyond the discipline, and draw government, industry, and nonprofit partners to fund and apply our work.
This culture of inquiry isn't limited to the graduate programs or sequestered in research labs; students at all levels are encouraged to explore design as research. The school's legendary research excellence permeates the entire curriculum and every student's education.
