The built environment is made up of the physical spaces we inhabit – from the places we live to the places we learn, play, and work. From the infrastructure that powers our communities with water and electricity to the transportation systems we use to get from place to place. Whether as architects, city planners, local leaders, or engaged citizens, each one of us plays a role in shaping our shared environment and facilitating spaces that connect and foster belonging.

The built environment is made up of the physical spaces we inhabit – from the places we live to the places we learn, play, and work. From the infrastructure that powers our communities with water and electricity to the transportation systems we use to get from place to place. Whether as architects, city planners, local leaders, or engaged citizens, each one of us plays a role in shaping our shared environment and facilitating spaces that connect and foster belonging.

Our report – The SOCIAL Framework in The Built Environment – explores how local leaders, policymakers, and organizational change-makers can foster connectedness through the design, planning, and facilitation of the built environment.

We have developed these reports to be living documents, constantly adapting to new research and policy updates. As such, we welcome your feedback on the report! Show less

The Certificate of Research Excellence (CORE) is a professional certification that recognizes and celebrates exceptional, rigorous, and impactful practice-based environmental design research studies. CORE affords design research professionals in any industry sector the opportunity to be at the forefront of environmental design research, showcase the proficiency of their work, provide lasting value to clients, and advance the industry with rigorous and impactful design research.

CORE is committed to excellence and aims to challenge applicants—and the industry—to find inventive and interesting ways to conduct and apply research in practice. Whether by way of an innovative tool or methodology, new techniques for analysis or means of disseminating a study’s findings, CORE aspires for design researchers to push the boundaries of professional practice

Applications to CORE undergo a rigorous, double-blind review by an interdisciplinary panel of experts. Each application is scored on its own merit against the CORE evaluation criteria, which are based on two main dimensions: (1) Research Rigor—the use of recognized research approaches (research design, tools, and data collection) and techniques to produce valid results (data analysis and finding interpretation), and (2) Research Value—the study’s actual (or potential future) impact on the design industry and project stakeholders.
