Leading to a PhD in Architecture, the MPhil/PhD Architectural Design programme allows especially able and reflective designers to undertake research within The Bartlett School of Architecture’s speculative and experimental ethos. The first to be established in the UK, The Bartlett’s MPhil/PhD Architectural Design is internationally recognised as one of the most influential doctoral programmes dedicated to architectural design. The programme draws on the strengths of design teaching and doctoral research at The Bartlett, encouraging the development of architectural research through the interaction of drawing and writing. An architectural design doctoral thesis has two inter-related elements of equal importance – a project and a text – that share a research theme and a productive relationship. The project may be drawn, filmed, built, or use whatever media is appropriate. UCL’s multidisciplinary environment offers a stimulating and varied research culture that connects research by architectural design to developments in other disciplines, such as anthropology, art, digital media, engineering, geography and medicine. The PhD Architectural Design programme is intended for graduates of architecture and other disciplines who wish to pursue research by architectural design. 55 students from over 20 countries are currently enrolled. The Bartlett School of Architecture’s two PhD programmes organise a number of annual events for doctoral students. PhD Research Projects, an exhibition and conference with presentations by current practice-based PhD students in UCL and the Royal Academy of Music, is held in Term 2. Invited critics in 2015 were Dr Sarah Callis, Royal Academy of Music; Professor Mario Carpo, The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL; Professor Tony Dunne, Royal College of Art; Professor Neil Heyde, Royal Academy of Music; Professor Mari Hvattum, Oslo School of Architecture; Dr Emmanuel Petit, Sir Banister Fletcher Visiting Professor, The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL; and Professor Bob Sheil, The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL. Throughout the year, PhD Research Conversations seminars are an opportunity for doctoral candidates to present work in progress.
