The activities in sustainable architecture and urbanism are supervised by Prof. Ahmed Z. Khan in collaboration with Prof. Philippe Bouillard.

 

Research framework

The research framework of I4C (Integrated Design for Cities of the Future) brings together the research activities about sustainable urbanism and architecture in the AIA (Architectural Engineering) and IUAT (Urbanism & Regional Planning) units of BATir (Building, Architecture & Town Planning) department, Brussels School of Engineering, ULB. The I4C framework comprises two tracks (ID and COF). These two tracks, the general framework and the associated research projects are presented below.
