Rankings Education The Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment is the UK's largest and leading multidisciplinary faculty of the built environment, covering architecture, planning, construction and project management, development planning and environmental design as well as many other specialist fields. It is particularly well known for its architecture and planning schools. The faculty undertakes research in the built environment, and is known for developing the space syntax theory. The current Dean is Christoph Lindner (Professor in Urban Studies). The Bartlett School of Architecture In 2011, the university appointed Frédéric Migayrou as the new Bartlett Professor of Architecture. Notable professors include Iain Borden, Adrian Forty, Jonathan Hill, CJ Lim, Alan Penn and Jane Rendell. The current Director of the Bartlett School of Architecture is Professor Amy Kulper. The Bartlett School of Architecture courses are validated by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). The school was rated by the Architects' Journal as the best architecture school in the UK for 11 years, and consistently ranks in the top in The Guardian university league tables for architecture. In 2013, the research publication Survey of London moved from English Heritage to join the School of Architecture. The School also houses the Space Syntax Laboratory, the international Centre of the theory and methodology of space syntax.

Meanwhile, a group of former students, 'Bartlett United', hired a solicitor to further examine the claims, as an Architects' Journal investigation revealed further allegations of students being bullied and humiliated by tutors, resulting in mental health problems. In October 2021, UCL appointed an external investigator, Howlett Brown, to review culture and behaviours at the Bartlett, after more than 70 testimonies from current and former staff and students at
