The University of Greenwich comprises three key Campuses - each including significant listed buildings - from Chatham Maritime to the East, to Avery Hill on the Eastern edge of the London Borough of Greenwich, to the University Headquarters in the Old Royal Naval College and Hospital at Maritime Greenwich. The School of Architecture and Construction within the University is one of the largest Schools of its type, providing one of the widest ranges of built and landscaped environment courses in the UK. The School is also home to the Brooking Collection of more than 100,000 building artefacts from the last five centuries. The collection is used for teaching and research. The School has a very successful research team, including a Research Professor with an international reputation in the conservation of traditional urban environments, primarily in India and other countries in South Asia. The establishment of this Chair enables the School and the University to develop significantly the opportunities for research, dissemination and teaching related to these traditions in collaboration with INTBAU. The University Campuses, and in particular Maritime Greenwich, offer a unique opportunity for study within the University environs. The location of the School, both in terms of London and the South-East, and in relation to mainland Europe, provides an excellent geographic location for such work. This is an opportunity not only to re-establish traditional approaches to the design and construction of the landscaped and built environments within an appropriate English University, but will also provide a beacon for the study of traditional building, architecture and urbanism of worldwide significance.
