Research

BDP Lab is a home for interdisciplinary research and development, harnessing expertise from across the practice and engaging with academic and industry specialists.

Information

We were founded on the progressive idea that the best outcomes are achieved when design and engineering disciplines come together in equal partnership with a singular vision: to improve quality of life.

We have a 60 year pedigree in research and innovation and an extraordinary range and scale of design output to learn from and inform our thinking.

We continue to develop partnerships with academia, industry and forward-thinking clients, contractors, consultants and professional bodies to stimulate progressive design thinking, to improve and refine our processes and add value for our clients and end users.
