The Art & Design Research Centre
The Art & Design Research Centre runs out of the School of Arts & Creative Industries at Edinburgh Napier University. It comprises of academics and practitioners with expertise in 3D design, making and digital crafts; lighting design, exhibition design, and design for heritage and urbanism; advertising, graphic design and graphic advocacy; and film and photography. We work in research and creative practice, consultancy and knowledge exchange and offer research degrees and CPD.
Our aim is to extend and share new knowledge and ideas to benefit a wide audience of participants and community of practice, and would like to hear from businesses, the public sector and local communities seeking help in providing a range of commercially and socially driven projects.
Botanic Lights (2014), a project designed for the Royal Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh, by lecturers Malcolm Innes and Euan Winton, with audio by Haftor Medboe, won an award at the Museum + Heritage Awards and a Commendation in the Lighting Design category at this year’s Scottish Design Awards.
