The PhD in Architectural, Urban and Interior Design promotes studies and researches on architectural design at different scales. The lines of research investigate programs, contexts, theories and critiques of contemporary design, through disciplinary in-depth analysis and experimental comparisons with the perspectives and contents of the international debate.

The objective of the PhD is the development and the field test of theoretical and operational tools aimed at the revision, the critical discussion, and the theoretical and technical advancement of the culture of architectural design. The project is meant as a fundamental tool for imagining, designing and creating the new structures of the natural and built environment, facing the challenges that emerge from cultures, technologies, and ecologies of the immediate future.
