We are a team of architects and researchers promoting and advancing design within the built environment through research, consultancy and practice.

The BDR works across the UK on a wide variety of projects at different scales - from detailed architectural design to regional visioning.

the BDR is at the cutting edge of design innovation and we collaborate with a range of specialists inside and outside the University of Sheffield.
