Bioclimatic and Sociotechnical Cities Lab (Basc Lab)

with a systems perspective that acknowledges the complexity of delivering sustainable urban environments we research, teach, and design to optimise urban climate and urban comfort. we are part of both the centre for human factors and sociotechnical systems (chf-sts) and the school of law and society, and we engage widely with industry and local communities. the key focus areas of the basc lab are listed below, and we welcome higher degree research applications and industry collaboration in these areas: bioclimatic urban design and planning sociotechnical systems thinking systems methods urban microclimate urban comfort urban complexity urban ecosystems urban design town planning human factors and ergonomics
