PixelSpace Lab
Where Innovation Meets Technology
The PixelSpace Lab is an emerging technologies teaching and research laboratory designed to empower learning, experimentation, and innovation within the School of Architecture and Built Environment.
Our vision is to lead innovation in the built environment by integrating cutting-edge education with industry-engaged research.
Our mission is to provide accessible, hands-on learning experiences that allow students, academics, and professionals to experiment with and apply emerging technologies.
PixelSpace Lab operates as part of an integrated learning, research and prototyping ecosystem, collaborating with the Architecture Design Studio (ADS), MakerSpace, Advanced Prototyping Facility, and the Student Workshop (ABEW) at the Callaghan Campus.
