The PhD in the Architecture programme at Lancaster University offers a unique opportunity to draw from a range of topics within Architecture and the wider build environment. We particularly welcome proposals for interdisciplinary PhD subjects aimed at combating current and future challenges. Our research at the School of Architecture is underpinned by three areas of concern:Future PracticeDigital CraftsThe Climate CrisisExpert supervisionAs a PhD student, you will normally be supervised by two experienced staff members, one of whom will be in the School of Architecture and will be an expert in your academic field. Frequently, a second supervisor will be selected from a different discipline, depending upon your chosen subject focus.Your supervisory team is selected to give the best possible academic support for your topic and hence each supervisory team is as individual as you are. During the period of your doctoral studies, your supervisory team will be there to provide structured guidance, advice, support and encouragement through regular supervisory meetings.Fascinating research topicsPreviously the team in the Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts, where Architecture is based, have supervised PhD projects on:the growth of spontaneous, informal settlementsusing tracking sensors to measure interaction dynamics in the workplacepeople’s cognition and experience of urban environmentsusing eye-tracking to understand the effect of visual stimuli on how we move through citiesthe effect of the spatial layout of museums and galleries on memory and attentionthe use of a smart phone, game environment, to investigate the effect of landmarks in city design
