Program Resources
 Spatial Analysis Lab
Support for projects focused on the role of the spatial context in design studies and in urban and regional planning.  Geographic Information Systems
Combine data from a geographic perspective to gain new insights and inform decision-making.  Space Syntax
The boundaries that divide and the connections that re-unite built space organize the way in which behaviors, activities, and people come together or remain apart.  Library Resources
The University of Michigan provides a wealth of resources supporting textual and visual research in architecture and related areas. The Doctoral Program in Architecture provides students with a broad range of resources needed to support advanced research.
Each of the three specialization areas is represented by nationally and internationally recognized members of the College faculty. In addition, the University of Michigan provides doctoral students with access to an unusually rich variety of faculty and researchers in other departments and colleges. Other University unit faculty are often called on to participate in Doctoral Program activities and serve as members of dissertation committees. The program also draws upon a number of consultants from outside the University. The strong research orientation of the College and the University has resulted in the establishment of research facilities that are among the best in the country. Computing facilities include a specialized doctoral computing lab equipped with high end MAC and IBM computers. Students also have access to the Building Technology Laboratory and the Spatial Analysis Laboratory (including GIS and Space Syntax analysis software). When sponsored research projects conducted by faculty members are consistent with the research interests of students, they may participate in these projects in an academic or professional capacity. Other research units on campus also provide specialized laboratory facilities, exposure to a broad range of research activities and possibilities for field experience. Among the resources most commonly used by students are the Environmental Simulation Laboratory, the Institute of Gerontology, the Institute for Social Research, the Center for Research on Learning and Teaching, the Institute of Public Policy Studies, theStatistical Research Laboratory and the University of Michigan Medical Center. |
