An overview of the fields of research:
- Transport Geography
- Economic Geography
- City Geography
- (Historical) Cultural Landscape Research
Department of Building Culture
Overview of the research fields:
- Digital and haptic architecture models
- Computer integration in the creative planning process
- Revitalization - Cultural heritage
