Program details

Overview

The PhD Programme trains scholars in the history and theory of architecture, plus urban studies and technology. Candidates are not tied to one research method and are encouraged to develop their own approach. The programme regards built form as a sign of wider social and political forces. It challenges the old division between theory and design, treating thinking and practising as connected activities. Tutoring comes from a Director of Studies alongside a Supervisor, and both internal and external experts evaluate the work. Each year candidates present findings publicly to guests and staff, who question both method and argument. Dissertations are expected to be bold, questioning architecture and the terms of its professional role. Candidates keep their research under review throughout, which keeps methods and arguments open to challenge.
