The PhD course pursues a series of objectives to be achieved through individual training, divided into three areas:
1 Disciplinary content of the PhD, 2 Higher education, 3 Methodology in research.
1
- Up-to-date knowledge of the general topics;
- Specific study of the topics of the two curricula (relations between theories and the project - curr. A; interior and fit-out architecture - curr. B);
- In-depth study of a thematic sub-articulation;
- Ability to provide scientifically adequate contributions
2
- Mastery of sources;
- Ability to write in an academic scientific context;
- Mastery of sources and bibliographical apparatus;
- Control of methodological aspects;
- Ability to communicate scientific results and to organise reports and interventions of a didactic nature;
- Ability to deepen the methods of transmission of discipline-specific topics
3
- Ability to provide research organisations and public institutions with adequate responses to the topics of investigation;
- Ability to conduct field surveys;
Ability to draw up adequate design hypotheses.
The PhD is organised according to the system of training credits, corresponding to a total of 180 credits, normally divided into 60 per year, as follows:
- training (lectures, seminars and workshops);
- writing the final papers required by the seminars or workshops;
- meetings and discussions with the Board of Lecturers;
- teaching internships within Courses and Design Workshops;
- participation in architectural competitions, study trips, internships and conferences
- publication of research products in volumes or scientific journals;
- internships within research facilities;
For the internship within research structures, the DiAP is divided into a series of Laboratories that constitute the natural reference areas of the two curricula.
The PhD Course is divided into seven training profiles:
1 Profile aimed at the experimentation of the complex urban project. (curr. A)
2 Analytical and historical-critical profile on the architecture of the modern and contemporary city. (curr. A)
3 Profile addressed to the theory and criticism of contemporary architecture. (curr. A)
4 Profile addressed to the study and experimentation of the dwelling in its transformative and evolutionary processes also in relation to its environmental sustainability. (curr. A and B)
5 Profile aimed at the study and experimentation of architecture as communication in the use of contemporary information tools. (curr. A and B)
6 Profile addressed to the study and experimentation of architectural and urban design in countries of traditional non-European culture. (curr. A)
7 Profile addressing the subject of interior architecture, exhibition and display spaces (curr. B) |
