TED RESEARCH: PROJECTS

At any one time within TED different members of staff are pursuing a variety of projects. All the projects utilise the eco design thinking which is being developed by TED, whether it is at a materials and process level or at a broader theoretical level.

The most current or ongoing projects are outlined below. The Archive section includes a brief description of completed projects that have taken place since TED was set up in 1996.
