IDO RESEARCH

Overview

Interdisciplinary Design Organization (IDO) Research Department is a network of researchers with aim of developing a deeper understanding of the connection between design, business, and the human experience. Through a combination of research grants, publications and external partnerships, we seek to use the power of design to create a healthy, equitable and sustainable living environment.

We aim to assist the design community to make decision based on evidence-based approaches and insight-driven ideas to promote the outcomes in health, education and community. Researchers and members of the research department come from many countries with diverse backgrounds and experiences in design and planning-related fields.Ā
