Griffith’s innovative areas of research are supported by opportunities to explore cross-disciplinary research with supervisors from different fields of expertise. At QCA Gold Coast, all continuing staff are encouraged to maintain a research profile.

QCA Gold Coast staff have a wide range of interests, stemming from their studio practice and research topics, but our core focus is the environment around us and our responsibilities as creatives in a world crying out for sustainability.
