About us

ArchiDoct was established in July 2013. ArchiDOCT is a biannual open access peer-reviewed journal dedicated to ongoing or recently completed doctoral research in architecture. Since its foundation from the European Network of Heads of Schools of Architecture – an EU funded Network in the framework of the Lifelong Learning Programme– ArchiDOCT has currently completed 9 years of operation with 16 successful issues and the 17th issue underway. Since 2016, ArchiDOCT has continued to gain stature through its Scopus indexing. Higher Education has dramatically changed in the past two decades. This transformation’s repercussions have also impacted doctoral studies. While the two-cycle education of undergraduate and graduate levels has been relatively streamlined in terms of standards and expectations, doctoral education is still driven by disparate research cultures and local academic traditions. The global picture is not dissimilar: three letters (PhD), standing for Philosophiae Doctor, can bear several meanings in various contexts, especially in the domain of architecture. The changes that are nowadays taking place in architectural education and professional practice are significantly impacting the way innovation and new architectural knowledge generation and transfer. Schools of architecture are led by the current dynamics to reform their doctoral education strategies, structures and processes in order to have a more impactful contribution to architectural research and innovation. With a focus on doctoral research ArchiDOCT aspires to offer a forum for recording and building common grounds under this methodological and thematic polyphony.

    We are glad to announce that we just published our latest issue titled 'Relevance 2' (https://lnkd.in/eAka_Wj). Curated by Prof. Maria Voyatzaki Vogiatzaki and Dr. Valerio Perna, the essays of this volume constitute the second lot selected from the conference which took place in July 2023. They illustrate the diverse and multifaceted nature of contemporary architectural research, reflecting its engagement with technological advancements, sustainable practices, the integration of history in design thinking, and ethical considerations. The contributions illustrate the diverse and evolving nature of contemporary architectural research. Key themes such as technological innovation, sustainability, ethical design, historical continuity, and economic efficiency are reshaping how architects approach the design and development of the built environment. Thanks to our authors: dilara yaratgan, Carlo Vannini, Júlia Beltran Borràs, David Pérez Royo, Alicia Llorca Ponce, Fernando García-Martínez, Maria Piqueras Blasco, Ivan Cabrera i Fausto.

    At archiDOCT (https://lnkd.in/eAka_Wj) we just launched the Call for Paper for the 23rd Issue titled "Memory". Guest-edited by Mark Rego -   Glasgow School of Art - Mackintosh School of Architecture - Memory welcomes papers that explore the notion of ‘memory’ in its relationship with architecture and the built environment. We are interested in a transdisciplinary approach to the research of how memory is relevant to architectural production and theory in its multiple facets (tradition, embodiment, memorialisation, heritage, neurosciences, psychology, identity…) More info at the following link: https://lnkd.in/dWXx8d7m Maria Voyatzaki Vogiatzaki Valerio Perna Mark Rego
