BASS is an informal network for social scientists, and like-minded individuals, working within the design and architectural industry.

BASS offers:

networking opportunities and a professional “club” for those interested in people and buildings; knowledge sharing through presentations from members and external speakers such as academics and overseas visitors, sharing new relevant theories and methodologies;

 

awareness of possible joint research between members or with academic and government programmes; critical mass to lobby professional organisations and the wider industry to adopt the views of social scientists, especially ones that affect building design or new ways of working; dissemination of guidance through joint publications or guidance offering consensus opinion.
