PhD Scholarship in Architecture at The University of Sydney
Innovation in Advanced Multi-Storey Housing Manufacture Scholarships
Project ID: CRC-P50578
The University of Sydney’s Innovation in Applied Design Lab at the Sydney School of Architecture Design and Planning, together with industry partners Lendlease and DesignMake, have been awarded a prestigious Commonwealth Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) Project grant.The research project will focus on innovating in the multi-storey manufactured housing area, and building on the leading work already carried out by Lendlease and DesignMake. The focus on prefabricated and modular housing reflects the growing global interest in the transformation of the construction industry towards a more industrialised, smart and sustainable manufacturing industry.
Lendlease and its subsidiary DesignMake have been at the forefront of innovation in tall timber buildings for several years. The collaboration between Lendlease, DesignMake, and the Innovation in Applied Design Lab on this CRC-P grant aims to unlock the potential growth of Australia’s prefabricated building industry. The CRC-P Grant will enable the next generation of engineers and architects to apply advanced manufacturing principles to prefabricated modular buildings. The CRC-P aims to secure the Australian industry’s competitive advantage in the global value chain leading to local employment growth and increased exports of prefabricated products and services.
As part of the CRC Project, the University of Sydney together with Lendlease and DesignMake, are seeking highly motivated and qualified candidates for two PhD scholarships. The PhDcandidates will work within the Innovation in Applied Design Lab and industry partners under the supervision by Associate Professor Mathew Aitchison and other faculty within the Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning. Interested applicants should refer to the Scholarships and Application Details below.
