Section 3: Results by Fields of Research Code
12 Built Environment and Design
Built Environment and Design is comprised of the following four-digit codes:
- 1201 Architecture
- 1202 Building
- 1203 Design Practice and Management
- 1204 Engineering Design
- 1205 Urban and Regional Planning

3 out of 22 two-digit UoEs and 10 out of 44 four-digit UoEs assessed were rated above world standard
FoR Overview
Built Environment and Design (12) accounted for approximately two per cent of the research outputs submitted to ERA 2015. Overall, conference papers were the most common research output type (37 per cent), followed by journal articles (33 per cent). Non-traditional research outputs comprised a high proportion of outputs in Architecture (1201) and Design Practice and Management (1203). Urban and Regional Planning (1205) and Architecture (1201) were the largest sub-disciplines by research output volume and research income. Design Practice and Management (1203) was the only four-digit code that submitted research commercialisation income.
