PHD PROGRAMME
IN CONTEMPORARY
ARCHITECTURE
General Description
Although the reflection on contemporary architectural production and the challenges it faces has been taking place in a context of curatorial and editorial activity, it is being avoided in the academic sphere, traditionally devoted to the subject of the History of Architecture. The PhD course at the Department of Architecture in Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa (UAL) is precisely aimed at breaking with the distancing of academia from the present time – believing that the research produced in this field could become instrumental to the construction of what will, in the future, be the history of the times we are now living in. With the added advantage of being taught in a country where several leading authors work, this PhD promotes advanced research projects which advocate effective interaction between the reflection done in the heart of the university and contemporary architectural production.
Organization of the Programme
The full PhD consists of 180 ECTS, with 60 corresponding to the PhD course and 120 to the thesis preparation and defence, allowing students to complete their PhD in six semesters.

Semesters 3,4,5&6
These studies are aimed at stimulating participation in research teams, as well as the development of discussion and feedback mechanisms through attending advanced courses, participation in conferences and seminars, presentation of communications at scientific congresses and meetings, publishing articles in journals and working together on teaching programmes in the specific area of architecture. Independent student work and tutorials are prioritised during the final two years, thus complying with a policy of encouraging the dissemination of the results in international publications, as well as periods of research at national and international centres of high repute.

Contemporary Architecture Seminar I covers the main goals of research production in the context of this PhD: (1) the transformation of architectural design, characterised by its uniqueness, into a vehicle for universal knowledge, and (2) the transformation of a process that is cryptic in nature, design, into stable encoding – into something that can be conveyed through writing – generating objective knowledge that is available to all. This course unit promotes analysis of the work done by some of the main contemporary players, with the aim of studying how works of architecture are created and investigating some of the theoretical and methodological assumptions architectural design is based on.
Course leaders: Ricardo Carvalho
The main aim of the Seminar on Curatorial Practices is to explore the points of contact and permeability between curatorial practices and the actual act of designing architecture. The students will be challenged to reflect on the intellectual work that lies beyond the material nature of the exhibition, the ways of building narratives and the constellation of conceptual and procedural relationships that sustain the production of a curatorial project in the area of architecture. It is aimed at: (1) exploring the potential of curatorial practices as an analytic research tool and a means for formal and critical expression by the architect, (2) providing PhD students with a solid background in the practices, methodologies and lines of questioning in the field of curatorship, and (3) promoting the development of critical analysis, independent research and practical experimentation skills suitable for integration into the specific nature of PhD research projects.
Course leader: Rute Figueiredo
The aim of Research and Dissemination Methods is to deal with the topics inherent to (1) general scientific research methods, (2) research methods in architecture in particular and, specifically, (3) research methods on the present time. The course unit explores some of the traditional approaches of the history of architecture, as well as others that have remained outside the conventional academic sphere. It explores the traditions arising from these approaches, as well as the controversy that has been generated around them.
Course leaders: Nuno Mateus, Filipa Ramalhete
While Contemporary Architecture Seminar I began with an analysis of a concrete project, this course unit begins with an analysis of a topic, with the aim of stimulating the capacity for transversal analysis of a problem. The main goal of this course unit is to promote the analysis of some of the main contemporary topics, stimulating the intellectual autonomy of the students – as potential researchers in architecture, but also, and mainly, as potential architects. The intention is to build a privileged space for discussion at the highest level, with contributions from different disciplinary areas – sociology, geography, land-use planning, landscaping, urban planning, agronomy, territorial policies.
Course leader: Marta Sequeira
The Seminar on Editorial Practices explores the vast field of architectural publications as a privileged place for the production and dissemination of academic discourse, throughout the 20th century and up to the present day. The goal is to explore the relationship between historical awareness and editorial practice and to guide intellectual preparation for the alternative activities in architecture, engaged in both by institutions of power and by the resistant fringes, both of which are almost always outside of academia. It is within this context that we have structured this course unit, whose main goals are to chart and assess the role of the main publications that have marked architectural discourse since the 20th century and to understand how editorial practice can be considered an essential tool for questioning and criticising architectural thought and action, while at the same time being capable of opening up new lines of action and thought.
Course leader: Bárbara Silva
Other professors: Pedro Baía
The main aim of this course unit is to provide the students with the tools that will allow them to develop their abilities to manage, organise, develop and present an advanced research project in architecture, demystifying and implementing the concept of advanced training in architecture based on research into contemporary architecture. At the end of the course unit, students should have acquired the following skills: (1) the ability to define a research topic as well as the study object, (2) the ability to define the state of the art and explain the originality of the work, (3) the ability to define the methodology to be used, and (4) the ability to draw up the bibliography. This course unit is also aimed at providing support to students in the preparation of a funding request for their PhD research proposal.
Course leaders: Marta Sequeira, Nuno Mateus, Manuel Aires Mateus
The academic staff is made up of researchers and professionals who have attained wide recognition both nationally and internationally. There is a strong international bent due both to their varying origins and their solid experience in different places. The course content is based on the areas worked on by the different members of the academic staff, whose competency has been proven by their careers – in research, curating and editing contemporary architecture – and the very prestigious international awards they have won.

The PhD course at the Department of Architecture in Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa focuses on reflection on contemporary architectural production. This course is intended to break with the distancing of academia from the present time – in the belief that the research produced in this field could become instrumental in the construction of what will, in the future, be the history of the times we are now living in. In this context, the first international seminar organised under the scope of this course is aimed at presenting the new PhD programme, showing three paradigmatic research projects and opening up debate on the utility of research into contemporary architecture.
