Overview
The aim of the FARU is to open up a platform to discourse theoretical and empirical studies through discussions, debate under its main theme ‘Dimensions of Space’. It looks at research, practices, scholarly work and industry contribution on ‘space’ and different dimensions of it within the discipline of Built Environment, Town and Country Planning, Building Economics and Design. FARU interprets ‘Space’ as an element of design in architecture, design and the built environment, or as an agglomeration of urban elements, open spaces in town and country planning. Space is also defined as the professional space within the construction industry and the contribution towards building economics and quantity surveying. Be it a physical or a virtual space, FARU encourages to exchange and share experiences and knowledge through its FARU Annual Conference and FARU Journal.
