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.
Semester 1 CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE SEMINAR I 350 hours/ T 15, TP 45 / 14 ECTS / SEMINAR ON CURATORIAL PRACTICES 200 hours / T 15, TP 15 / 8 ECTS / RESEARCH AND DISSEMINATION METHODS 200 hours / T 15, TP 15 / 8 ECTS Semester 2 CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE SEMINAR II 350 hours / T 15, TP 45 / 14 ECTS / SEMINAR ON EDITORIAL PRACTICES 200 hours / T 15, TP 15 / 8 ECTS / THESIS PROJECT LABORATORY 200 hours / T 15, TP 15 / 8 ECTS / THESIS PROJECT

Students who have successfully completed the course units for the first two semesters, equivalent to 60 ECTS, may request a Diploma of Advanced Studies in Architecture. The PhD is awarded to those who have obtained 180 ECTS credit units through successfully completing their advanced studies (60 ECTS credit units) and thesis preparation (120 ECTS credit units), including its defence and approval.
COORDINATION Ricardo Carvalho and Marta Sequeira
FACILITIES This course will take place in the facilities of the UAL Department of Architecture in Campo de Ourique, Lisbon. The conditions there are in line with best international practices in scientific research (including access to a specific documentation centre on the scientific area of architecture and permanent workstations for each student, as well as spaces for collaborative research work).
START DATE OF THE THIRD EDITION March 2024
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
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.
Academic staff: Bárbara Silva , Filipa Ramalhete , Manuel Aires Mateus , Marta Sequeira , Nuno Mateus , Pedro Baía , Ricardo Carvalho , Rute Figueiredo
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.

The Lisbon School of Architecture, or simply “the School” as people call it, since it dates back to the 16th century, is now one of the 18 faculties and institutes belonging to the University of Lisbon, following the merger between the classical University of Lisbon and the Technical University of Lisbon in 2013. The scientific areas covered by the newly formed university range from sciences and engineering to the arts and the humanities, and include architecture and design. It has an intake of over 40.000 students and is one of the top European universities in the Shanghai ranking. ULisboa has several campuses in various locations in Lisbon. The FA is one of four faculties located in the Ajuda Campus in the west of Lisbon, on a hill close to the Monsanto Park, 20 min from the city centre.
The Lisbon School of Architecture offers courses leading to undergraduate, master's and doctoral degrees in the fields of Architecture, Urban Planning, Building Interiors and Renovation, Design and Fashion Design. It also offers non-degree courses that provide complementary training to professionals who wish to acquire more in-depth knowledge. This wide range of training makes the FA the largest and most diversified school in the country in its fields, with about 3 thousand students. It is also the school with the largest number of foreign exchange students from Europe, but also from countries in other continents with which the FA has exchange agreements.
As a modern school that tries to combine tradition and innovation, FA is a reference institution in the professional training of architects, urban planners and designers, as well as in the production of socially recognized specialized and interdisciplinary research. So, for studying Architecture or Design related courses, our Lisbon School of Architecture is the most well-known and awarded institution in Portugal.

Bsc: 180 ECTS / length: 3 years Msc: 120 ECTS / length: 2 years
Various PhD Programmes: PhD in Architecture, PhD in Urbanism, PhD in Design
Various Undergraduate study programmes: BA in Design, BA in Fashion Design
The curriculum provides acquisition of generic and professional competencies.
In the Integrated Master Programme there are two cicles. The 1st Cicle of Study, equivalent to a bachelor, is received after the successful completion of the III year of this five-year integrate programme, then the students acquire an undergraduate degree, completing 180 ECTS. This degree does not allow access to the profession of architect but does allow assisted participation in architectural and urbanistic activities.
The professional skills are obtained after successful completion of the 2nd Cicle or 10th semester of the programme, the Master, it provides the legal competencies to the architecture profession, and the future Architect can then choose the specialization area. In this School the areas available are: Architecture, Urbanism and Interior Architecture and Rehabilitation of Constructed Spaces.
For those wanting to continue education after the completion of a Master doctoral programmes are offered, as 3rd Cicle of Studies. The Areas are: Urbanism, Architecture and Design.
We also provide undergraduate programmes, as the Bachelors in: Design and Fashion Design, as well as Master Programmes in the fields of Communication Design, Product Design, Interaction Design and Fashion Design.
The bachelor study in Design aims to provide a structured and consistent training based on a study plan that includes an integrated set of course units, coordinated by the groups of disciplinary areas from the Lisbon School of Architecture (Technologies, Social Sciences, Drawing and Visual Communication, and History and Theory). The study cycle is structured in six semesters, throughout which we promote a complementarity of disciplines, course units and their respective programmatic contents and exercises. The aims of the study are to provide a comprehensiveness of knowledge in the specific domain of Design and a ‘culture of doing’ that are adequate to both the continuation of specialization studies in the areas of Product and Service Design and Communication Design, as to an effective and qualitative professional practice.
As for the first study cycle in Fashion Design is characterized by a pragmatic approach with a wide spectrum of theoretical and practical programmatic contents, which aim to answer the challenges and the needs of the current range of professional territories related to the fashion industry. Throughout the three curricular years, the interdisciplinarity of the programmatic contents is supported in wider umbrella concepts – namely, identity, function and materialization – which converge towards the development of the following competencies:
- Understanding of historical, cultural and economic context of fashion and its possible intersections;
- Establishing connections between theory and practice of fashion design;
- Applying pragmatic methodologies/strategies in projects;
- Strengthening the personal vision of the universe of fashion through the creation of concepts and their materialization in apparel, accessories, figurines and styling;
- Capability of interrelation individually and in teams, and of work organization;
- Capability of creation and communication of marketing strategies.
The Master degree in Architecture provided by the Lisbon School of Architecture aims to give students a set of competences, mostly of project-based nature, that allows them throughout the teaching/learning process, to recognize, question and experiment with ideas, facts and architectural knowledge of a complex and integrating nature. In this process, students operate on human creations, underlined with ways of scientific, humanistic and artistic thinking and expression, linked to territory – both natural and artificial – that we designate as the space inhabited by human beings. This study is composed by two cycles of studies (mandatory for the professional exercise, by the Portuguese Architects Association). The admission to the 2nd cycle can be done by students that have concluded the 1st cycle in a national homologous study. The procedure is subject to independent applications and places.
The specialization in Urbanism enriches the Integrated Master in Architecture with a reinforced approach on issues of urban nature, contributing to the training of a professional capable of thinking the city as their object of study, having an active role not only in spatial planning, but also in the life, culture and challenges of living in the City. This specialization provides, this way, a broader training, becoming a differentiation and competitiveness factor in the national and international labour markets.
The Integrated Master study in Architecture with specialization in Interiors and Building Rehabilitation is a complete study in Architecture, recognized by the Portuguese Architects Association and by the European Decree 2005/36/CE, with the same academic and professional recognition of the main branch of the integrated Master in Architecture, adding specific facets within the scope of qualification and detail of constructed spaces and the rehabilitation of the built, that might be determining of future success in integrating the labour market.
The Master study in Communication Design aims to develop and deepen the training of designers, capable of addressing current professional needs and to perform tasks in the specialized domain of Communication Design in project, teaching, research and through cultural action. The study aims at the acquisition of knowledge and analytical and reflexive skills, as well as the ability to problematize and think critically in a thorough and specialized way, within a frame of amplitude and versatility capable of responding to current and expectable needs within the professional spaces of area, encouraging productive thinking, and the detection of design and entrepreneurship opportunities.
The Master study in Product Design aims to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge and analytical, reflexive, problematization and ‘broad-band’ critical skills, within a framework of amplitude and multifunctionality that is able to address current needs from the professional fields of Product Design. The study also aims to develop and deepen the training of professionals capable to fulfil tasks in the domain of Product and Service Design, in several areas – Project, Design and Innovation Management, Education, Research and Cultural Action – encouraging productive thinking, recognition of opportunities in design, and entrepreneurship.
Interaction design contributes to the creation of products, services and systems, with which we interact intuitively and efficiently. It is interaction designers’ intention to create material and functional conditions for behaviour change in people, both in large and small scales. The Master in Interaction Design results from a partnership between two schools of the University of Lisbon (Faculty of Architecture and Faculty of Fine Arts). It adds in this way multidisciplinary skills, corresponding to areas of knowledge which have been developed for several years in these Schools, through Laboratories and Research Centers. Knowledge and research developed are now gathered to establish a distinct training and contribute to professional and research needs in this area of activity.
The Master study in Fashion Design aims to develop a personal view of the world of fashion, by means of consolidation of knowledge and project, reflexive, creative and critical skills, within a framework of experimentation and versatility that is able to address current and expectable needs from the Fashion Design domains.
The cycle of studies leading to PhD degree includes:
– Undertaking a doctoral program, consisting of several courses as the curriculum of the course; – To prepare an original thesis, specially developed for this purpose, appropriate to the branch of knowledge or expertise and contribute to extending the frontiers of knowledge. – It seeks to foster a relationship between the three multidisciplinary courses, both in terms of common mandatory courses, or from optional courses.

Portugal, officially the Portuguese Republic, is a country located in Southwestern Europe, on the Iberian Peninsula. Portugal is 900 years old, and even though it has a relatively small area, it played a crucial role in world history. Universidade do Porto is most popular by foreigners which consist of 11% international students.
The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
