Announcement for comparative evaluations, based on qualifications and interview, for admission to the PhD programme Architecture and Arts of the Iuav School of Doctorate Studies academic year 2024/2025 - cycle 40

The PhD program Architecture and Arts aims to provide the theoretical and practical education necessary to operate in the fields of Architecture, Town and Country Planning, Spatial Planning/Policies, Design and the Arts, linking contiguous approaches such as those concerning design and analysis tools at different scales, history, spatial policies, building and environmental restoration, technologies, artistic expression and representation, in order to address in the most incisive way the set of issues related to the transformation of anthropic space in its different forms.



The predominantly single macro-area nature of the disciplinary sectors involved and the proven experience of more than thirty years of research activities make the Iuav PhD course an attractive and stimulating place where the thematic insights developed in the different research areas, together with the exchange and collaboration between fields of knowledge, favor the acquisition of autonomy and responsibility, as well as strengthening the system of transnational and international relations with research institutions, public administration and the production system.



The presence of a specific and consolidated training and the possibility of interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary exchanges and approaches on common grounds, which also involve research carried out in other Iuav areas, makes the education provided particularly suitable for dealing with frontier themes and issues that will increasingly concern the layout and shape of living spaces and will require theoretical and practical in-depth studies.



The general objectives of the course are:

1. Provide specific knowledge in each disciplinary field and promote the deepening of research through a comparison with the state of the art of that field of knowledge.

2. Encourage comparison between the different disciplinary areas and fields of knowledge by promoting opportunities for dialogue and joint training.

3. Facilitate relations with the territory, the busines
