Welcome to the AUDRC
The Australian Urban Design Research Centre (AUDRC) is an interdisciplinary hub for excellence in Urban Design research and education. Situated in the heart of a rapidly changing city, in a nation with the world’s most urbanized population linked to the dynamic Asian region, the AUDRC is well placed to serve as a nerve centre for contemporary discourse on the global city.
The AUDRC’s inner-city studio and gallery offers a 24/7 hot-house atmosphere for creative thinking, design speculation and methodical inquiry into the innovative design of urban environments. The Centre is comprised of students from all over the world and offers a personalized, atelier-style education tailored to suit individual career paths and lifestyles.
