Commercial architecture is the design and construction of buildings and spaces intended for commercial use, such as offices, retail stores, and warehouses. It focuses on functionality, aesthetics, and compliance with regulations, while addressing the needs of businesses and their customers.

Key research themes

1. How do regulatory and market standards influence design practices and sustainability outcomes in commercial architecture?

This research theme investigates the role of formal and informal regulations, such as market standards and private guidelines, in shaping commercial building design. It particularly focuses on how these standards affect the agency of designers, influence building performance outcomes like energy efficiency, and regulate the commodification and valuation of commercial office buildings. Understanding this dynamic is crucial for addressing the tensions between market-driven uniformity and innovation in sustainable architectural solutions.

Key finding: Using a case study of 10 commercial offices in London, this work shows that market standards act as normative and cultural regulators, strongly formatting practices of an institutional field and creating social and financial... Read more
Key finding: This paper extends the above study by elucidating how market standards serve as calculative devices that organize decisions, reinforcing institutional pressures for compliance. It reinforces the finding that these standards... Read more
Key finding: Tracing the historical ascendance of technical-rationality in architectural practice, this paper argues that current mainstream (normative) commercial architecture is dominated by an ideology prioritizing efficiency,... Read more

2. What are the emerging sustainable design strategies and interdisciplinary approaches in commercial architecture to address energy efficiency challenges?

The commercial architecture sector faces heightened scrutiny regarding its energy consumption and environmental impact, especially in building typologies such as commercial centers and offices which differ from residential buildings in terms of energy dynamics. This theme explores innovations in interdisciplinary and integrated design strategies to embed energy efficiency from early design stages, leveraging bioclimatic principles, natural ventilation, and computational tools. These approaches aim to balance cost-effectiveness, market requirements, and sustainability imperatives.

Key finding: Through the case study of the Marin Commercial Center in Switzerland, this work demonstrates that an integrated interdisciplinary design process can successfully incorporate bioclimatic principles and energy efficiency into... Read more

Key finding: Using daylight simulations in an office building in Dhaka, this paper quantifies the adverse effect of typical drop ceilings on daylight penetration in curtain wall glass buildings. It shows that drop ceilings significantly... Read more

3. How do business, marketing, and client demands shape the architecture and commercial viability of built environments?

This theme addresses the intersection of architectural design with business and marketing strategies, client expectations, and economic realities in the commercial architecture industry. It examines how marketing influences architectural program development and forms, the challenge of aligning architectural practice with business viability, and the evolving client typologies impacting design decisions and market positioning. Insights provide actionable guidance for architects to integrate business acumen into design processes for sustainable professional practice.

Key finding: This study reveals that marketing practices increasingly inform architectural design from the early stages, influencing space requirements and architectural form to align with market demands. The research evidences that... Read more
Key finding: While primarily ecological, this paper highlights the importance for commercial architecture to expand stakeholder considerations beyond human users to include non-human species. This shift requires architects to incorporate... Read more
Key finding: This paper identifies key business challenges within the architecture industry, emphasizing the need for improved management skills, client relationship understanding, and adoption of advanced technological tools. It... Read more
Key finding: The paper advocates for the application of architectural principles and systematic structuring beyond physical buildings to aid complex problem solving and business planning. It posits that architectural frameworks provide... Read more
