MPhil/PhD Architectural History & Theory Barbara Penner
The Bartlett School of Architecture’s MPhil/PhD Architectural History & Theory programme allows students to conduct an exhaustive piece of research into an area of their own selection and definition. Great importance is placed on the originality of information uncovered, the creativity of the interpretations made, and the rigour of the methodological procedures adopted.
The Bartlett School of Architecture 2013
Approximately 20-30 students from around the world are enrolled at any one time for MPhil and PhD research in this field. The range of research topics undertaken is broad, but most explore the history and theory of architecture and cities from c. 1800 to the present day, with an emphasis on the critical reading of these subjects from cultural, political and experiential viewpoints. The MPhil/PhD Architectural History & Theory programme draws on the expertise and experience of the Bartlett School of Architecture’s team of architectural historians and theorists, who are recognised internationally for their contributions to the field. The programme itself is very dynamic with an active series of talks, seminars, and conferences. Inkeeping with UCL’s multidisciplinary ethos, connections between architectural research and other fields are encouraged, and there are active collaborations with the Departments of Anthropology, Fine Art and Geography, and UCL Urban Lab. We have also conducted research exchanges with the Royal Academy of Music and Cornell University.
