Scientific research in Urbanism aims to build a background of inquiry and theoretical reflection relevant to analytical and design practices in urbanism, combining research activity with design activity, the latter understood as an indispensable component of cognitive strategies.
The training also aims to foster reflection on the theoretical foundations of techniques for analysing and processing territorial information, as well as on their fields of application.
The subject of study and research is and will remain, in general, the ‘urban project’, a term used to refer to a broader field than the ‘urban plan’ and one that encompasses both the technical-normative dimension and the exploratory and imaginative dimension of physical-morphological conformations. The urban project is also understood as the set of activities through which a specific scientific-professional group seeks to redefine the environmental conditions, including urban and territorial ones, within which social reproduction processes take place. With regard to the specific teaching and research activities that complement the cross-disciplinary training provided by the Bembo Writing Workshop, the doctoral program in urbanism is indicatively structured as follows:
Transitions between years take place in a laboratory setting. Doctoral students are organized into small groups (2–3 members), spanning different cohorts, and formed on the basis of thematic affinities or methodological approaches. Each group develops and presents a collective position paper on the assigned topic, alongside individual presentations of their research. Faculty members and external experts from outside the field are invited to participate as discussants.
