El Departament de Projectes Arquitectònics té tres grups de recerca reconeguts per la UPC. Dos d’aquests estan també reconeguts com a “Grups de Recerca Consolidats” per l’AGAUR de la Generalitat de Catalunya, i, per tant, tenen el poder d’impulsar la recerca a través del pont del saber que han establert entre la universitat i la societat civil. Es realitzen projectes concrets a través de convenis i contractes de cooperació amb les administracions públiques nacionals i internacionals, com la UNESCO, Comunitat Europea, ministeris, conselleries, ajuntaments i consells comarcals, col·legis professionals, fundacions, comunitats i associacions i individus i empreses.
