About the course

The PhD program in Architecture is oriented toward the training of scholars in the field of architectural history and theory. Its structure reflects a dual understanding of the scholar's role in the discipline at large: as a teacher and as a researcher making an original contribution to the field, with an emphasis on expanding and reinterpreting disciplinary knowledge in a broad intellectual context. Course requirements are designed to give entering students a solid foundation in architectural history and theory, with sufficient flexibility to allow the pursuit of individual research interests. Interdisciplinary work is encouraged. The program's focus is on architecture and modernity internationally, from the 18th century to the present. A wide range of research is supported through the varied expertise of the faculty and through strong relationships with other departments throughout the university.
