ZEBRA: ZERO-EMISSION BUILT ENVIRONMENTS AND HERITAGE RESEARCH ALLIANCE
The Research Team is dedicated to advancing sustainable urban development with a unique focus on the intersections of architecture, culture, history, and engineering. Our multidisciplinary approach integrates architectural design, urban planning, and engineering principles to create resilient and culturally rich environments. We investigate the dynamic interplay between past and present, emphasizing both local and global contexts. Through our research, we aim to shape the future of urban landscapes by balancing innovation, sustainability, and cultural preservation.
The team is built on two pillars: research and collaboration to promote open communication and knowledge sharing among team members to leverage their unique expertise.
