PhD position in architecture, live projects as drivers of sustainable urban planning, work with NORWEGIAN UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY – NTNU – World Wides Biz

Posted on May 9, 2022 by eboudaoud

About the position

The Department of Architecture and Urban Planning is seeking a PhD student for the Live Projects as Drivers for Sustainable Urbanism project, a project funded by NTNU. This research will be implemented as practice-based research, following the study program for the doctorate in architecture or the study program for the doctorate in artistic research.

The aim of the project is to investigate how, through live studio projects, sustainable urban development can be ensured and at the same time gain practical insight into ensuring sustainable urban development as defined by the New Bauhaus (NEB): Building frameworks for a “sustainable and inclusive future that is beautiful to our eyes, minds and souls.”

Live projects can be explored as a rapid approach to crisis response and additionally as triggers for long-term sustainable development.

The position will focus on the interplay between aesthetics, sustainability and technology in the context of spatial form and urban planning, with the aim of reinforcing the principles and value base of the NEB (New European Bauhaus) in knowledge production at the department, faculty and NTNU.

One of the aims of physical interventions is to investigate how low ecological footprint and circularity interventions can develop social and spatial constellations as the basis for more radical sustainable urban development as well as sustainable quality of life. The projects will be carried out in close collaboration with the public authorities, NGOs and the population affected by the initiative. Measurements require connection to teaching and research by connecting students to NTNU Live Studio’s model-based projects.

The candidate will organize, direct and carry out intervention-oriented urban development projects. The PhD project will increase understanding and knowledge of how pilots, experiments and moderated measures with the participation of a multitude of actors – including students – can contribute to the development of existing and new urban structures. The candidate is encouraged to use a wide variety of theories and methods to plan, implement and evaluate temporary interventions.

The position is planned as a three-year doctoral period with an optional additional year of work within the department. An extension of the study period, for example by combining it with another practice, could be considered by the department. In a particular case, the position could be open to a postdoc.

You will report to the Head of Department.
